Abstract: |
A shirt-like garment having an upper body torso merging into a sleeve portion wherein a figure is applied to the torso portion and to the sleeve portion to appear as an integrated image. The sleeve preferably terminates in a puppet head at its distal end so that a wearer may insert a hand into the puppet head for manipulation as a convention puppet. The mouth of the puppet head is preferably formed with upper and lower inner mouth pieces defining a slot through which a hand of a wearer may extend free from the puppet head. When so extended, the puppet head will be fastened about the wrist of the wearer by suitable fasteners.
