You can get your own "Gary" for $34.00

(Speaking of the Bay Area, the puppet company is headquartered in Emeryville, near Pixar) http://www.folkmanis.com/75/contact-us.htm

Vance, however,  is an original creation. I met the lady who created Vance at the SF listening party for the final WFMU Best Show, back in December of 2013.

Perhaps all of this will be further discussed on Wally Wackiman's Pupcast????

I have to admit I sort of want to buy this.  I feel shame.

I was there! She even made a Vance cake...

As for Gary, it sounded like someone was actually doing the voice for the one line he came in on...or maybe that's just how squirrels talk

Gary the Squirrel- Winner of the  2006 iPARENTING MEDIA GREATEST PRODUCT AWARD.

If I had $34 to spend on a puppet I'd buy this in a second.

I actually bought one a few weeks ago as a birthday gift for my 1 year old daughter. It's a really nice puppet, and the best part is she has no interest in playing with it so I can have it all to myself!
