Finally, science accomplishes something important!
Puppets May Now Smoke
The high spot of a marionette show now touring the country is when one of the tiny puppets lights up a cigarette, inhales the smoke, and blows it out. The picture above shows the puppet under the guidance of invisible strings, and below, how the smoking stunt is accomplished.
That’s actually pretty clever.
Plus it’s real good news for puppets. Ever heard of a puppet getting lung cancer?

If this had caught on, would Jeff Dunham be doing Walter with a deep hacking smoker’s cough by now?
