Greetings From Hell

Swazzlers Sean and Patrick Johnson performed the characters (from pre-recorded voice tracks) for a series of JibJab Sendables - short clips that are clearly a cut above your average e-card! Check out all six and mail them to your friends! Where else can you watch a puppet Hitler (background) being tortured? Don't answer that.

In episode 8, guest star Louie The Snake helps Tiger and Mousedeer to build a snake puppet. Tiger is horribly ophidiophobic, and Louie takes full advantage of the situation. At least Tiger gets something for his trouble - but what? Find out for yourself!

PS - Doesn't Louie The Snake sound like he should involved in trafficking grey market craft supplies or something? I'll bet he has a cousin Paulie.

Swazzle Article @ PuppetVision Blog

Swazzle is featured in yesterday's PuppetVision Blog post! Andrew wrote a great piece about the Rex & Boots video that's currently linked to the Nancy Drew movie site. Thanks, Andrew!

Degrees Of Separation

Swazzle shot a video to help promote the Summer Library Reading Program's theme - Get A Clue - for the California Library Association convention.

As it turns out, Get A Clue is also the tagline for Warner Brothers' upcoming Nancy Drew movie. Since that was the case, the studio made the SLRP its partner and is now promoting it on their website. And because of that, the CLA donated the Swazzle Rex & Boots video to view on the Get A Clue with Nancy Drew page.

So - Anita's puppetry is linked to the site of a major motion picture! Cool!
