		The puppet is, literally, a tube sock controlled by a human hand.
		But even though the puppet's words are measured -- writing's got to be hard if you're a sock, so you can't blame him -- they lay bare his likes and dislikes, his sometimes tragic past, and most importantly, his soul.
		We learn, for example, that the sock puppet is a huge fan of Eric Estrada, the star of the old TV show CHiPs; that he loves Fresca, which he calls "the elixir of life"; and that his best friend is a parakeet named Uncle Wiggles.

	Rob Walker - Slate Magazine
		Late last week, Moneybox attempted to duck the election brouhaha by noting the passage of Pets.com and thus the uncertain future of its mascot, the famous sock puppet.
		Here also is more on the dog, the man who painted his portrait, and assorted Nipper iconography; thanks to James Curran for the links.) Recent reports that BMG and EMI are discussing a merger hold out the possibility, I suppose, that Nipper could yet make a comeback as a truly global brand icon.
		This may prove to be good news for whoever secures the rights to the puppet, particularly since Pets.com seems likely to prove pretty easily forgettable in the long run.
