Being Big Bird

So your right arm is operating the head, then?

Yes, I call it acting at the end of my arm. My little finger operates the eye, my thumb is the jaw. And also I’m wearing a monitor, I’m looking down at it when I’m working. I still use a twenty-five-year-old vidicom tube; I don’t like the LCDs. For one thing, it doesn’t take up so much room.
