[1] "Jim Knopf and Lukas the engine driver"

Ralph Hoehn: I am deeply impressed by the fact that we have reached a quality of 
discourse where the correspondents have begun to use footnotes ;-). 

"Jim Knopf and Lukas the engine driver" is a puppet show put on by the so-called 
"Augsburger Puppenkiste", a string puppet troupe for television, which was popular and 
successful in Germany back when I was a kid (i.e. preceding my currently 30 years in 
folding boats ;-). The quality of productions by "Augsburger Puppenkiste" is high, the 
carving of the puppets (new ones for each new production) incredible, and surely 
largely lost on the supposedly "kid" audience ... at least that's why I watch it with 
my kids ;-).
