What Happened to Howdy and Bob?




Have you ever wondered what ever happened to Buffalo Bob and Howdy Doody?

I did a unique google search. I didn't googled Buffalo Bob & Howdy Doody, I approached it from a different angle. I searched for a wooden puppet with a human male. Here is what I found:

Howdy ran away from Buffalo Bob and got involved with some street kids. They went to a carnival and were all turned into donkeys. Bob, heart broken went looking for his little buddy and somehow ended up in the belly of a whale.

Howdy, hearing that his master was in the belly of a whale set out to save him. To make a long story short, he made the whale sneeze and both Buffalo Bob and Howdy Doody was shot out of the whale's mouth as projectiles, like to little wads of snot.

It appeared that Howdy Doody drowned. He was lying on some beach and an angel appeared and as an award for saving Bob magically turned him into a little boy. But the angel was new at doing mystically tricks and accidentally turned Buffalo Bob into wood, like Howdy was. He looked something like a cigar store Indian.

People kept asking Howdy where was Buffalo Bob? Howdy had to move on; make a living, he moved to Hollywood, changed his name and became a very convincing actor.

We watched a good one last night with WHM in it. "Buck Got a Room" or something similar.

And just a couple of nights before we saw him in a movie that he was a retired military and guard in a museum. He and his friends made a heist on some original art - they were bungling heistmen.
