Space Ghost, The Ultimate Puppet Experience
No, this is not an episode of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast (shocking as that might seem). This is an all-puppet production of the 1960s Space Ghost cartoon “Nightmare Planet,” performed by Baltimore’s The Annex for reasons unknown. Please watch all eight minutes, if only to see puppet Space Ghost, puppet Jan and Jace, puppet Blip, puppet-esque laser blasts, and the puppet creatures of Dr. Nightmare, including one so big it takes up the entire stage. Much thanks to Jake Hostletter for the tip?go check out his Urlesque article to see the original cartoon upon which the puppet madness is based.

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
