Just What The Doctor Ordered (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Ivan wasn’t quite sure what the puppet resembled, but it definitely was not a duck. Jett, on the other hand, was easier to classify. She—Ivan was guessing female because of the huge eyelashes and mop of corded yellow curls—was tiger-striped in varying shades of purple, puce and a rather disconcerting chartreuse. She had a big, bright orange beak—something like a pelican—webbed fingers at the end of each of her four spidery arms, and lips like Madonna. Big, silver hoop earrings and a flower behind her ear—or was that antennae?—defined Jett as the puppet most likely to succeed as a fashion plate. If, of course, puppets wore clothes, which these apparently had no need to do. Ainsley had brought him to this downtown studio, housed in an old public park building and operated by local artists as a cooperative workshop and gallery, to introduce him to the puppets. All six of them. All destined for the puppet theater at the pediatric center. None of the puppets were the snuggly, big-eyed creatures portrayed in her imaginative murals.
