  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.

 Weird Words: Swazzle
It takes a lot of practice to make recognisable words and to swap between Punch’s swazzled rasp and the unswazzled voices of the other characters.
Swazzle is a modified form of the older swatchel; this might be a variant of swatch but is more probably from German schwätzeln, taken in turn from schwatzen, to chatter or tattle.
One reason that experts think this is the source is that the very earliest example, dated 1854, spells the word schwassle.
