On behalf of all of us here at DTLA Weekly THANK YOU for being a friend of the puppets. We’ve never missed an issue without Bob Baker even though we nay have printed you as Bob Barker by accident a few times. Our publisher has a lot of arms, not eyes. Although we have never seen a show, it has been an honor to have been able to share your shows in our pages for the psst 4 years. Thank you for sharing the love. #KeepImaginationAlive
