Puppetry
is a big thing in the Czech Repub­lic. As well as being the home of Jan Švank­ma­jer and Jiří Trnka, there are a few puppet shops in the Old Town in Prague selling the work of local puppet artists. I’m afraid I didn’t get the names of the artists who made these ones I photo­graphed. I really wanted to buy a small puppet, they weren’t hugely expens­ive, but I didn’t have much chance of getting it home in one piece, so I reluct­antly gave it a miss.

Skel­exote- I always thought they missed a trick not making a Donkeyxote cartoon like Dogtani­an. I suppose it never happened because Dogtani­an was a Span­ish cartoon, and D’Artacan and Dogtani­an are the same pun in the two languages, but Donkeyxote only works in English.
