Ellett created Floppy, a high-voiced beagle dog puppet that became his sidekick for the next 30 years. Together, the iconic duo made 200 personal appearances every year at community festivals and events. The Floppy Show aired weekday afternoons in part of four decades, featuring a live studio audience of children telling Floppy riddles, beeping his nose for luck, and watching cartoons. On weekends, the duo appeared in a variety of programs over time, from the S.S. Popeye in earlier years to The Floppytown Gazette in the 1980s, featuring Floppy and other puppets Ellett created. Thousands of Iowans outside of Des Moines discovered the duo from their performances at the Iowa State Fair. Even now, 30 years after their last television appearance, Duane and Floppy still hold a warm place in the hearts of baby boomers across America."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a A solo act --The early years -- Sharing the stage -- Riddles and nose beeps -- Through the years -- An iconic duo -- A lasting legacy. 600 10 $a Ellett, Duane, $d 1923-1987. 630 00 $a Floppy show (Television program) 610 20 $a WHO-TV (Television station : Des Moines, Iowa) $x History $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Puppets on television. 650 0 $a Television broadcasting $z Des Moines $z Des Moines $x History $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Television personalities $z Iowa $v Biography. 651 0 $a Des Moines (Iowa) $v Pictorial works. $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a Des Moines (Iowa) $x History $v Pictorial works. 830 0 $a Images of America. 941 $a 5 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710040754.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611022116.0 952 $l MUPB553 $d 20200827164655.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006120609.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20181005010908.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C858A0663C8411E8B440353897128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
