Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Joey Mazzarino, who voiced Artie, later became head writer for Sesame Street — explaining why this show's wordplay feels suspiciously educational.
Dog City was the last Jim Henson project to premiere before his death in 1990, making Eliot and Ace's creator-creation relationship unintentionally poignant — the puppet outlived his puppeteer.
