J.P. Patches was the host of one of the longest running local children’s shows in television history. The J.P Patches Show aired on KIRO-TV in Seattle from 1958-1981 and broadcast over 10,000 episodes in its 23-year run. Just about every kid who grew up in the Northwest during that time tuned in as Julius Pierpont Patches, Mayor of the City Dump, entertained them with cartoons, sketches and special guests. This 7" hard vinyl J.P. Patches Nodder is intricately detailed down to the buttons on his coat.
