Blogue d'un québécois expatrié en Angleterre. Comme toute forme d'autobiographie est constituée d'une large part de fiction, j'ai décidé de nommer le blogue Vraie Fiction.

Yes, they're creepy and they celebrate domestic abuse. Punch is always beating up Judy and the baby with a stick. Well, at least traditionally. I assume they've cleaned up that aspect these days.
I'm so glad I'm not the one who finds Punch and Judy weird and scary, actually not at all suited to small children' entertainment. I never understood the attraction of these ugly, misformed puppets. As to what they do, beating each other over the head and screeching
, how on earth could you see that as a children' delight?
