This Cartoon Saturday, we ponder the animated adventures of Punky Brewster. As anyone alive in the 1980's knows, Punky Brewster was a heartwarming family sitcom about an orphaned girl (Punky) and her dog Brandon who were reluctantly taken in by grouchy old photographer (and building super) Henry Warnamont upon his discovery of them hiding out in his building.
In the cartoon version ("It's Punky Brewster"), which aired concurrently with the live action series ("Punky Brewster"), Punky was befriended by a little magical creature Glomer, who was essentially an orphan like her.
Although "Punky Brewster" was aimed at kids and "It's Punky Brewster" was also aimed at kids (presumably kids who already watched "Punky Brewster"), there was no connection back to the live action show from the cartoon. Live action Punky and her friends seemingly never met Glomer, nor did they have any memories of their strange adventures with Glomer.
Pictured above is a paper doll book which includes Punky, Brandon and Glomer.
