I think these pictures speak for themselves. (On the left is Captain Smarm, who I'm pretty sure has a substance abuse problem. On the right is Spot, the elusive dinosaur.)
Marty Allen makes the sock puppets and takes their portraits. That is how he spends his time and makes a living. Which makes me think most of us have probably gotten this job/career thing wrong. Why work for an evil corporation when you could spend your days with friendly sock puppets. Or, if you must pay the mortgage, put a sock puppet portrait in your cubicle and confuse your coworkers about what your boyfriend/girlfriend/family look like. Find Marty, and the 27 puppets, at the Union Square Market. They are also all available online:

These sock puppets have their own MySpace profiles. Some of them have written their own songs.

Some of the puppets are in a sock puppet rock band, which also contains human beings. The band is called UncleMonsterFace.
