	Quilligan's Quarter - Grant and Breyfogle's Batman in Detective Comics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		By late 1986, everyone's perception of Batman (or at least, the perception of the editors and most of the people that were reading new comics) was that he had taken a dramatic step back into the shadows from his slightly more cheery mid-1980s incarnation.
		The Ventriloquist is a mild-mannered looking fellow who is in the thrall of his sinister ventriloquist's dummy, Scarface, who can't pronounce his 'b's correctly.
		The way that the Ventriloquist ultimately transports the drug up from its Mexican manufacturing plant is in the corpse of an associate that failed him.

	Comics You Should Own #17: Detective Comics #583—594; 601—614 » PopCultureShock
		Right out of the gate we get the Ventriloquist and Scarface, and down the line we get the Ratcatcher, the Corrosive Man and Kadaver, Umbaluru the aborigine (who's not really a villain, but he fights Batman), Cornelius Stirk, Wyatt Tenzin and his tulpa, Clayface V (I guess he's technically the fifth one!), and Anarky.
		When Batman confronts the Ventriloquist, he gets a dose of the drug and almost beats the crime boss to death, but he is able to regain control of himself just in time.
		There is a great debate in comics over which person is wearing the mask—Batman or Bruce Wayne—and usually artists make Batman the emotionless one, even though he is the character who (naturally) dominates the book.

	Ventriloquism - Instructions on How To Talk Without Moving Your Lips by Brownielocks.
		I realize that the so-called secrets of ventriloquism are suppose to be kept among those who are a ventriloquist for the preservation of the art form and to keep it's mystique.
		I have been a ventriloquist, and it is with a lot of respect to the art form and all others who do perform (whether professionally or not) that I am going to explain "how to talk without moving your lips" secrets as well as some of my own personal views on performing etc. Why?
		To be a good ventriloquist you must practice in front of a mirror, with your puppet a lot.

		His comedic skill and impeccable technique serve as sleight of hand, however, drawing attention away from the fact that Dunham is a ventriloquist extraordinaire.
		The only person ever to win the prestigious "Ventriloquist of the Year" Award twice, he was recently nominated "Comedian of the Year" by the INN Music City News Country Awards.
		It was not until 1975 that Dunham would meet a live ventriloquist, and soon thereafter he would take weekly inspiration from actor/ventriloquist Jay Johnson on "Soap" (1977-81).

	Ventriloquism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Greeks called this gastromancy and it was often closely aligned with aspects of necromancy in that it was used to make it seem that the spirits of the dead had returned to pass on information retrieved from beyond the grave.
		As spiritualism led to stage magic and escapology so ventriloquism became more of a performance art as, starting around the 16th century, it shed its mystical trappings.
		The theme of ventriloquists with sinister puppets and/or a split personality is quite common, well known examples include:

		Dubious Moment: Found prone on the deck of a boat, the Ventriloquist appears dead, but the damn dummy lives -- that is until he's destroyed hopefully ending the existence of this Dud Duo.
		The Ventriloquist, a chump with no backbone, can't use the letter "D" when throwing his voice, which means the obnoxious Scarface says things like, "You gummy!" Writers have attempted to add some mystery by suggesting the doll is truly alive.

	Metroactive Books \| Trina Robbins, Dan Raeburn
		Without inflating Ware's skills--a temptation, because he's probably the best draftsman in comics today--Raeburn analyzes the importance of nostalgia to Ware's work: how Ware's gorgeously poignant comics draw their strength from ragtime music and the history and the architecture of the city of Chicago.
		It's easy to say that Ware's comics are primarily nostalgic, but Raeburn goes further and talks about the use of time in Ware's panels--how the dynamics of the comic enable the reader to see the future, the present and the past in the space of one page.
		Robbins' book notes--as anyone who reads self-published girl comics will note--that many of the self-published women's comics today are as focused on gaining too much weight and boyfriends who won't call back as any Archie comic.

		So I added to that the Ventriloquist who I know is a little bit of a fan favorite but I think itâs a stupid character.
		I think a guy who has a ventriloquist dummy that fires bullets and is bossed around, it might work like in the movie âMagicâ with Anthony Hopkins where itâs one guy going crazy in a desert lakeside hotel or wherever that movie took place.
		I remember buying those as a 100-page Batman comic years and years ago when I was a kid and I reread them and reread them.

		It concerns a ventriloquist, Maxwell Frere (Michael Redgrave), whose career is actually run by his dummy, Hugo.

		He was such a fan, though, that he paid homage to them in Creepshow and Creepshow 2, based on his own original stories but remaining true to the comics' style, including the requisite twist endings and puns in the titles.

		In comics, the first thing I had published was a drawing for a ‘Design Robin’ stunt back when I was 15.
		That was the first comic that made me realize “I really wanna do that!” In fact, one of the few pieces of my life that I ever copied line for line was the cover of that book, where Adams drew Batman holding an apparently dead Sgt Rock.
		He was in front of a crowd of fans signing his comics and I was introduced to him and he was all in Mr T mode, “Hey, howya doin’?” He didn’t even know who I was, he was just treating me like I was a fan.

	Jason Burns Offers His Own Dummy's Guide
		Bloomberg, a ventriloquist dummy that Alan believes was shot in the back by an assailant, causing him to now live his life as a paraplegic.
		Bloomberg is just a puppet and Alan isn’t playing with a full deck, but that doesn’t stop him from being one hell of a private dick and in this particular series, the pair (or Alan playing both of them) is sucked into a case that involves a gruesome killer known as The Flesh Collector.
		Bloomberg is just a ventriloquist dummy, but he just refuses to admit it to himself, which is why he came up with the whole paraplegic angle to basically make an excuse for why he doesn’t walk around on his own.
