Puppet Design: Edward R. Meow

Edward R. Meow

Meow

The shape of an animal puppet's ears and nose helps determine what kind of animal it is. This puppet, which I modified for tonight's episode of The Office, started as a nondescript character with a muzzle, tuft of hair and eyes. I made him into a cat by adding triangle ears and a triangle nose.

Had I added small round ears and a bulbous nose, I could have turned him into a mouse. Or, if had I added small diamond-shaped ears and antlers, he could have been a moose. Long ears and a small triangle nose would have made him a rabbit. The possibilities are endless.

Check out The Office tonight on NBC to see Kevin Carlson bring this puppet to life.

Cool. We've been Tivo-ing the first couple of seasons, but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I'll peak at tonight's though to see your handiwork. Congrats! : )

I watched the show for the first time last night. Funny stuff. Kevin did a great job performing the cat.

One of my blogging buddies loves The Office, so I told her about the puppet and she link to you on her blog.

Were you on set at all? One of our good friends is the editor of the show.
