Punch. 

and what a scary mofo he is. Hard to believe it didn't catch on

There was a cigar bar in a hotel in Boston decades ago that had a marvelous Punch statue inside. Oddly named "Punch Cigar Bar". Go figure.

I had no idea Punch had a figure like that. Feels like something you’d see tucked away in a corner of an old-school shop.

  I don't know if you guys get the Punch and Judy puppet shows at the seafront etc down in Oz, but even without his looks he wouldn't live long these days; wife beating and animal abuse, sausage stealing, the shows have the lot. 

 They were reasonably scary even as a kid.

Exactly the style statute that was at the entrance of the Punch Cigar Bar (Sheraton Boston).
