Yankee Panky, the All-American bear, is made of cardboard, felt and an old overcoat. His body is cut from a woman's overcoat made of dark blue wool material with a thick nap. One great advantage of animal puppets is that they do not need to have hands. The fingers of the operator come right to the snub end of the paw and enable him to have sure and direct control over any props handled. Yankee's paws are of white felt, as is his nose. His ears are lined with white felt, his mouth with pink, and his tongue is a double thickness of red felt. His eyes are made of cardboard discs and clear discs of celluloid from a toothpaste box, glued together with a chip of black plastic sliding around inside. His mouth is moved by the puppeteer's finger, crooked inside the head and extending into the nose. |
