Punch and Judy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | He carries a stick, as large as himself, which he freely uses upon all the other characters in the show. |
 | | He speaks in a bizarre rasping voice, produced by a contrivance known as a swazzle or swatchel which the Professor holds in his mouth. |
 | | The Punch and Judy show has deep roots; it is ultimately based on the Italian commedia dell'arte, and the figure of Punch derives ultimately from the stock character of Pulcinello. |
