Okay, so Greg The Bunny has been playing on television very regularly here in good old Toronto, Ontario, CANADA.  The truth is that it looks like a great show, but I have not been able to get into it.  I don’t know why.  I’ve tried.  But it just hasn’t happened.  Now the one thing that I can get into is the puppet performances.  They are great.  It is amazing to me how original some of these characters and performances are.  There are several that I think are outstanding.  But the one character that just blows me away is The Wumpus.  First of all the way he talks is so amazing that I hang on his every word.  I honestly think his performer is a genious. 

As I have watched more and more I can see that the character is a bit violent, but I really do think he is an outstanding character.  I remember a while back seeing the website of the person who built the puppet, but I don’t have that information anymore.  Also, I couldn’t find out who the performer was.  If anyone knows please drop me a line so that I can update this post.  If you want to see what an amazing character he is, you can go to The Wumpus’ My Space website or see a great clip of him on You Tube here.

Enjoy.

   Hey Kanja,
   I believe I read somewhere that Dan Milano plays Wumpus. I checked the clip you have posted and he does sound like a cross between Greg and Warren. I’ll try to find out where I saw it and hopefully get back to you.

   The Wumpus puppet was designed and built by character and puppet designer/builder, Michael Schupbach.
