Talk:Does "Muppet" mean "Marionette and puppet"?

Pros?
I don't understand how the first two "pros" are actually pros. Marionettes are operated from above with strings. They're not stick (or "rod") puppets at all. Seems like those are more properly "cons".

And even so, I'd think this page should give a definitive "no" answer to the question. Jim essentially said "Yeah, I used to say that, but I was lying." How can you argue with that? Galenfott (talk) 16:59, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
