crazy stuffed emu

[Brutus]

Rod Hull may have been the bravest man I ever met.

"Who's Rod Hull?" I hear you ask.

Answer: Rod Hull was the comedian/puppeteer who worked with Emu.

"Who or what is Emu?" you're wondering aloud.

Well, you're obviously not from England or Australia if you're asking these questions. Rod was a popular performer on comedy-variety shows, often in England, sometimes in Australia and occasionally on this continent.

Emu was a large, grotesque bird puppet, invariably found tucked under Rod's right arm. In truth, if you looked past the illusion, you might even figure out that what you thought was Rod's right arm and hand were actually a fake arm and hand. His real appendage was inside Emu, operating its cartoony face and beak.
