Uncle Monsterface

About me:

This is NOT the Myspace for Uncle Monsterface the band. This is the Monster/Sock Puppet Portrait.

STRANGE BUT TRUE! there are nice framed pictures of Uncle Monsterface and many of his friends for sale here at:
Marty's Sock Puppet Emporium

"I can't exactly remember the first time I ever met Uncle Monsterface. It's one of those things where it feels as though we've known each other forever. But then again, maybe we only met three or four months ago. However it went down, we were certainly fast friends despite his...odd habits.

So he's obviously this dedicated member of, or founder of, or inspiration for the rock band/tee vee show/experience by the same name - Uncle Monsterface. It's kind of a chicken and egg deal, but I suspect he was around before the band. Or at least this modern incarnation of the band...

He's really difficult to quantify - he's so many things, I'm pretty sure he's done a lot, and I have no idea where he actually came from. For instance - one time we got a letter from these strange bird-people from some remote area in Africa requesting his Royal Presence and rights for his 'eternal visage'. He laughed it off, but then we couldn't find him for like a week and when he finally turned up again he had this really cool new robe. Another time, this weird scientist showed up insisting that he 'complete the theorum so that the third layer may be closed'. Again, he kind of shrugged it off, but that kind of stuff just pops up on a crazily regular basis. But when he's around, somehow it doesn't really feel that crazy...And the next thing you know he'll just be napping on the couch all afternoon or trying to get everyone to go to Target with him...

So, yeah, he's riddled in mystery, wrapped in a blanket of secrets, and generally rides around in a fancy red car (who gives a giant green monster a license?). He takes it all in stride, really - but I do sometimes feel like he's sort of...I don't know...overwhelmed to be amongst people, I guess... He never talks about where he's from or what he has done - it's not that he avoids it, you just never think of it when you're with the guy. But sometimes I stop and wonder...

And when we do stop and think about it, we suspect that he's ancient, and despite the fact that he's incredibly kind, I think he's sometimes a slave to his nature. Like, sometimes his problem-solving skills are a little bit...well...monster-y, really. He's just this totally well-rounded and intellectual and downright worldly guy, but sometimes he thinks that the best possible solution for a problem is to burn it and/or eat it. At the end of the day - he's a big green monster, you know? So to be on the safe side, if you meet him, you're really gonna want to keep your hands away from his mouth.

Seriously."
