A series of three ads were produced featuring Onky with a human grocer played by Bill Gibson. In 1962, Jim Henson created the new Muppet character, Onky, for the On-Cor Frozen Foods ads. Onky is cited as one of Henson's earliest live-hand Muppets. The puppet was later re-worked to become Mack, a character featured in ads for Claussen's Bakery, McGarry's Sausage, C & P Telephone Co. of VA, and Southern Bell Telephone.

  • A series of three ads were produced featuring Onky with a human grocer played by Bill Gibson. In 1962, Jim Henson created the new Muppet character, Onky, for the On-Cor Frozen Foods ads. Onky is cited as one of Henson's earliest live-hand Muppets. “The puppet style was a departure from the hand and rod puppets Henson had been using – Onky had “live-hands” meaning the puppeteer put his hand in the puppet’s glove-like hand, enabling the character to easily pick up things (like the product being advertised) and give a more realistic performance. While Onky’s arms were short and almost flipper-like, making for an awkward kind of movement, later in the year, Jim and his new collaborator Don Sahlin created a live-hand puppet that was extremely expressive: Rowlf the Dog.” The puppet was later re-worked to become Mack, a character featured in ads for Claussen's Bakery, McGarry's Sausage, C & P Telephone Co. of VA, and Southern Bell Telephone.
