Just two days ago, we gave a shout out to Kanye West’s new puppet theater, but we’ve never thanked the master of muppets himself. Luckily, the Smithsonian is one step ahead of us. They recently honored Jim Henson with a full exhibit. It’s still open through this weekend, so head on down if you haven’t seen it already.

Puppets are a perfect mix of fluffy, cute, and DIY technology. And you can even comb their hair!!! It’s their three-dimensionality and stringiness that makes them so cuddlesome. Just imagine how boring it would be to comb a cartoon’s hair with a Wii remote!

Waiting for a good comb!
