Monty by Jim Meddick for November 08, 2011

is this a comment on politics in America?

Nope, just infinite recursion.

Nope, just infinite recursion.

Nope, just infinite recursion.

Nope, just -——ACK!!

Gotta give Fleshy credit for pushing the envelope, but I think he needs to spend more time developing the script for his act….

Tough audience, Fleshy!

Being a cat who can make a model of a hand puppet out of a sticker, and work it with a small hand puppet that’s being worked by a bigger hand puppet on your paw, isn’t enough for them!

Monty is a tough crowd – television has obviously dulled his sense of entertainment

Who’s operating fleshy?

No Monty, it’s even more avant-garde: a shadow-puppet show within a puppet show within a puppet show…

Now if the Spiderman puppet could work a marionette, Fleshy’d really have something.

I distinctly remember that once on the Muppet Show, Fozzie Bear tried to do a ventriloquist act, so even Fleshy’s original concept isn’t new.

Meddick has stooped low, to making fun of Jose Jalapeño (on a stick). Meddick, how low will you go? Jeff Dunham is one of THE BEST comedians I know of.

It sorta breaks my heart the way Fleshy tries to please.

He should use his I Pad to let others know when there is going to be a sofa show. All performers love an audience larger than one.

…hang on, Fleshy is putting on his Big Bird costume….

…on a stick (re: Dunham)

decal on toothpick puppetry is a lost art these days

50 years ago Ed Sullivan would have killed to

get Fleshy on his show .Fleshy would have had

fun with “Topo Gigio” and, Senor Wences too!(sa right)

Come on, Monty! Fleshy’s just a little cat with emerging talent. Cut him a break.

The ever-smaller puppets remind me of what has been said about fleas: “Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite ’em, And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.” Surprisingly, Fleshy is quite flea resistant… they have no place to hide! ;-)
