Unfortunately, Punch was not available at the time.
Puppets reflect people's attitudes to their social, political and cultural conditions.
Punch and I came from a popular background, and we travelled and entertained the public in places such as parks and markets. We listened to many ordinary people's stories and reflected their lifestyles, frustrations and behaviour including some that would be classified as bad manners. Because of our small size, we have always been able to travel easily. When the British soldiers made their first voyages to this continent, they brought us over by boat. It was more difficult for Guignol to enter New France.
