caricatured'. 'The puppet cast included 'Kukla', the earnest leader of the
troupe; 'Ollie', or 'Oliver J. Dragon', a roguish one-toothed dragon (who would
slam his flat chin on the stage in frustration or roll on his back to be endearing);

the troupe's union stagehand who spoke in 'tooie talk'; Colonel Crackie, a Southern gentleman; Dolores Dragon, Ollie's younger cousin, and a number of others'.
