Overheard on the L this morning

Him: "So, they were on MySpace, and they found the guy who played the baby in Labyrinth, right? They wound up partying with him; turns out he's a sculptor now."

Her: "What does he sculpt- floating Muppet heads?"

Given that the kid in question is actually Brian Froud's son, that wouldn't surprise me. That would just be going into the family business.

Brian Froud is a very nice man.

Who also looks like a muppet.

I can totally believe both of those statements.

In fact, I'd have trouble believing that Brian Froud was not nice, and I hope nothing in my post implied that I thought otherwise. My mention of "the family business" was a reference to the fact that the elder Froud created all the creatures for the movie. (Aside from David Bowie. He seems to have been created by the Queen of Elfland or something, even when he's not dressed as Jareth.)

I had the pleasure of meeting Brian Froud at the San Diego Comic Con last summer. He was very sweet, and wrote a happy birthday note for a friend of mine who's a great admirer of his work.

And yes, if it came out that David Bowie was a fay changeling, I don't think a single person anywhere would be surprised.

Coy,
Were you at Rocky the night that Baby Toby from Labrinth was there? If not, I can send you a pic or something, if you like...
