   Well I would say if they're actually puppeteered, rather than just lying   
   there, or being depicted in a drawing, then they count.

   Good, good.  And I would argue that even a borderline case like Mike   
   manipulating "the lumps" in the host segment for "Robot Rumpus" would   
   qualify, as the lumps are nominally animate beings.  Mike turning   
   the steering wheel of the SOL, on the other hand, would NOT be   
   puppeteering, as the steering wheel is not being "animated" by Mike's   
   efforts.   
      
   Some other puppets that come to mind:  Robot-Mike,   
   Nummymuffincoocolbutter, Mikey - the Mike Sprite (and Mike-soxey, the   
   Mike's socks' sprite)....
