Punkinhead and Jock The Jumper

Step into a cherished piece of Canadian childhood with Punkinhead & Jock the Jumper!

Punkinhead, affectionately known as “the sad little bear,” was created by celebrated Canadian cartoonist Charles Thorson. With his tuft of unruly orange hair and lovable rubbery design, Punkinhead quickly became a beloved character in a series of children's books published by Toronto’s iconic T. Eaton Company.

To promote this endearing bear, Eaton’s released storybooks, toys, and even a special song — complete with recordings — that made Punkinhead a holiday sensation. He made his memorable debut in the 1947 Toronto Santa Claus Parade and soon became a familiar face on mugs, mittens, chairs, and other cozy Christmas treasures.

Today, Punkinhead and his playful pal Jock the Jumper are more than just toys — they’re collector’s items and nostalgic keepsakes, recalling a golden age of department store wonder and heartwarming holiday traditions.

Bring home a piece of Canadian heritage with this sweet duo — a timeless gift for collectors, storytellers, and anyone who still believes in Christmas magic.
