Mr. Punch’s is concepted as a YouTube series set in a restaurant owned and operated by the esteemed blue capitalist, Mr. Punch. With puppets and imagery inspired by the likes of Sesame Street and The Muppets, Mr. Punch’s is a tribute to those childhood classics with a modern twist. In contrast to its child-like aesthetic and cheerful sing-alongs, Mr. Punch’s is about the plight of those stuck in dead end service industry jobs, where they’re forced to give service with a smile despite the crumbling world around them.

Talia and I created all our puppet babies from scratch.
Created from felt, fur, foam, hand stitching, thrifted
props, and a drop of our blood to give them souls.
