Puppets. From Howdy Doody to Triumph the Comic Insult Dog. From Kukla to Kermit. From Lambchop to Team America. They've always been on hand, but society always kept them on tight strings. What if they were cut loose, allowed to take over roles and positions they've never been offered? What if puppets were everywhere?

In this contest, your job is to substitute puppets into any image you like. From television and movies to politics (insert obvious jokes here) to art and science, show a world where puppets are everywhere. The object is not to turn anyone into a puppet -- that's a different contest. Insert existing puppet characters into new scenery, as in the themepost above.

As always, have fun, be creative!, follow the guidelines please, and be careful to avoid using cliches. You will have 48 hours to submit so make your entry count!

Remember: Star Wars is still on the [cliche list], use Yoda not.
