Love stories like this.

Can't say I remember Punkinhead, though.

Sad about Charles Thorson, the creator. I loved the character, and had a lunchbox with Punkinhead on it when I was 5.

 

[Murrmurr]

Odd that such an abrasive character could design such delightful ones.

Aunt Marg maybe you are not old enough.

My late husband collected teddy bears and amidst the pile, I discovered Punkinhead and claimed him as I reminisced about his story. Now it is sitting in my bedroom minus his little blue pants that had disappeared over the years.
