Zelda from Terrahawks. An evil female puppet. She has wild grey hair and a fave that is a mass of wrinkles with dark rings around her eyes and a witchy hooked nose.
She is wearing a cream lace dress.

Share a NOT cartoon from the past that kids today probably never heard of.

A balding bearded man is wearing a grey top and yellow/black neckerchief.
His right hand has a grey glove, and on his index finger is a grey mouse puppet.
