I wrote the "Vance > Gary" line after I heard Vance's brief appearance before putting his headphones back on.
Believe me, I love Gary. He has been a wonderful inclusion into The Best Show family. His rapport with Kurt B. (too lazy to spell out his name but ya'll know who I mean) was truly special, as was the song with Gentleman Jesse.
But a green three-eyed puppet who is a prog rock obsessive trumps everything else in my life at the current moment. Vance stole the early part of the year. I also may be biased because I had the honor of meeting Vance during my in-studio appearance, and my picture with him is the pride of my Facebook collection.
Wally is seething about that last part, being the original pioneer of puppet-based Best Show radio, that your picture with him does not top this. Still, all kidding aside, I agree that I prefer Vance. He's just funny for what he is, and his very humble and polite manner, along with his distinct voice and nerdiness for his preferred musical style, all meshes in a great way. Gary's better in doses, I feel. I like him, just fine, but between the two, I prefer Vance.
