Zozobra ("Old Man Gloom") is a giant marionette effigy that is built and burned every autumn during Fiestas de Santa Fe in Santa Fe, New Mexico. As his name suggests, he embodies gloom; by burning him, people destroy the worries and troubles of the previous year in the flames. Anyone with an excess of gloom is encouraged to write down the nature of his or her gloom on a slip of paper and leave it in the "gloom box" found in the offices of the Santa Fe Reporter in the weeks leading up to the burn. Many people put legal papers in the gloom box as well. At the festival the papers from the gloom box are placed at Zozobra's feet to be burned alongside him.
Fiestas de Santa Fe has been held since 1712 to celebrate the Spanish retaking of the city in 1692 by Don Diego de Vargas from the Pueblo tribes who had occupied the city since the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. The burning of Zozobra dates from 1924. Santa Fe artist and marionette maker Gustave Baumann came up with the idea of creating the effigy, also called Old Man Gloom, and the ritual burning; and then conspired with his friend William Howard Shuster, Jr. to burn the first Zozobra. Zozobra means "anxiety" in Spanish. Baumann's idea might have been influenced by Mexican cartonería (papier-mâché sculpture), especially the effigies exploded during the burning of Judas that takes place on Holy Saturday or New Year's Eve, as a way of ridding oneself or one's community of evil.

***** READ ME ***** In 1924 Will Shuester created Old Man Gloom, or what Santa Feans Know him as, Zozobra. He is a marionette puppet standing at 50 ft tall. As he blazes up, he takes with him thousands of symbols of bad luck that have been stuffed inside him from divorce papers to old wedding dresses and paid off mortgages. Now the story starts here. For Zozobra, this event is formal which is why he wears a bow tie and cummerbund. Now Old Man Gloom had been caught in the hills eating sheep and bothering folks, and the only way to get him out of hiding was to invite him to the biggest party in Santa Fe, the Fiestas. Zozobra accepts the invite because he sees it as a chance to spread gloom and rain havoc just when the towns people are at their happiest: Celebrating Fiesta's. But, when he...

Zozobra as Snidely Whiplash. Whiplash is the stereotypical villain in the style of stock characters found in silent movies and earlier stage melodrama, wearing black clothing, cape, and a top hat, and twirling his long handlebar moustache. He has a henchman named Homer, who usually wears a tuque. In the cartoon's opening segments, Snidely is seen tying Nell Fenwick to a railroad track. He is the antithesis of Do-Right, who is the archetype of goodness and a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman.
Fire
Will it call my name
When I give in to
The blue heart of these flames
Blood runs
Flow with heavy rush
Knives are are out
But they dull when they touch his flesh
Up with the smoke
We rise like angels again
Suffocate on absence of __
Blinding our sight
You emanate this glow
Lost out in space
Burning on __
Take a good look at his face
Look with the smoke
We rise like angels again
Suffocate on absence of __
Blinding our sight
You emanate this glow
Lost out in space
Burning on __
Flames can rise
On your eyes
Blinding our sight
You emanate this glow
Lost out in space
Burning on __
