Question about puppets and age
I was just sitting here watching The Muppet Show, and it got me thinking: I don’t think I ever watched it and thought, “There’s someone behind the scenes moving these things around.” So when did I first realise that what I was watching wasn’t actually a character, but a puppet being controlled by someone?
The earliest memory I can think of is having a Cookie Monster puppet as a kid. I must have put two and two together at some point and figured it out.
What are others experiences on this?
