Hugo

Do you remember Hugo? He was a puppet toy you could disguise with a variety of hair styles, noses, glasses, scars, moles, mustaches, and stuff. He also appeared in Pee Wee Herman's early stage shows and is the basis for the costume Mickey (the fugitive) wears in Pee Wee's big Adventure.

Ha! This is great. Love the Ziggy Stardust / Bowie eyes.

I'm probably one of the few, besides yourself who remember Hugo. I got one as a present as a kid, and wore him out. I seriously considered becoming a makeup artist because of him.
