Amazing Cardboard Box Puppet
This has got to be the most elaborate thing I’ve ever seen made from a cardboard box. It comes from a blog post at the Gurney Journey blog titled: Home: Jungle Edition. (Picture also comes from that blog.)
The author, James Gurney, says:
Hiram is our caretaker. He’s supposed to get the chores done while we’re gone, but he’s been spending all day sitting around eating styrofoam peanuts. Here he is complaining about his arthritis. Hiram is actually a full-size puppet I made from an old cardboard box. He’s a nice guy but he tends to scare little kids.
I imagine if I were made from cardboard, there’d be some creak in my body too. What an awesome puppet, James.

I remember when Jim made it, the day after Christmas, sometime in the seventies when food processors were the newest thing in kitchen gadgets. The box it came in suggested a head to Jim, and next thing you know he disappears to make the only item still in use from the Christmas day.

That is just plain cool! How true to life is it that the box is the only thing from that Christmas still working?
Thanks for the heads-up, Dan!
