Mr Punch Crocodile Hunter
June 14th, 2008
Greetings People’s Republicans, Phig Billy here, your friendly neighbourhood gonzo cartoonist. Yesterday, my attorney and I took a tour of the Arts and Crafts Fair in Exeter on the Cathedral Green, and it was well worth it.
I shall be writing up my conversations with some of the stall holders that I met presently, but in the meantime I wanted to let you know that the fair is on again today, so if you happen to be in Exeter or feel like a trip to see and maybe purchase some arts and/or crafts, then you should definitely go.
There is a fantastic variety of stuff on display: from the customary watercolours, ceramics and basketwork to crazy wooden mirror frames and gorgeous Chinese ink paintings. There are even people on stilts and African dancers.
But most importantly there’s a Punch and Judy show. I hadn’t seen a Punch and Judy show in years and I found it to be most entertaining. But if Punch and Judy is supposedly such an English tradition (albeit originally from Italy, so Wikipedia informs me), why a crocodile? Where the hell is it supposed to have come from?
Answers on a postcard… or leave a comment.
