Little Clown Man Named Harvey "Final Answer"
"What a coincindence. After I "adopted" him, I named him Clarence. I had just watched "It's a Wonderful Life". Then I saw this page where Clarence was a suggested name..hmmmmmmm"

Harris Deutsch commented on David C. Herzog's group Marionette Variety Artisits"The Nearly Normal Puppets have adopted one of J. Emory's marionettes. "We" renamed him Clarence. J has been very helpful in suggesting tips on his (Clarence not J.'s) manipulation. Clarence is a Roller Skating Clown…"

- Doctor of Laughology Programs are "very puppet heavy". Actually he's not heavy, he's my puppet. Programs range from Alcoholism is not a Laughing Matter to birthday parties from 1 to 101. I learned under the guidance of Emiline Dobbins doing mall shows in the 70's. My puppets range from creations with "Duct Tape" and other things found at Wal-mart to traditional ventriloquist figures.
