Flub had an interesting locomotor pattern, i.e., down in the front, up in the back, down in the back, up in the front, down in the back, etc. Howdy "himself," when he walked, was cocked back at about a 30-degree angle; "he" always looked ready to fall, at least to me. This was all in the early '50s as TV didn't arrive at our house (in Pittsburgh) until '52. Yes, K,F,& O were there, too and, I believe hung on longer than most of the puppet competition. (BTW, Burr Tillstrom, the founder of KFO was from Saugatuck, MI, quite a nice town that honors him with a statue in one of their parks.)
