The name may not originate from a bomb, nor a comic strip. At the time this nose art was painted, actress (late 30's to early 50's) "Punkins" Parker (often referred to as "Some Punkins") was a household word, even picked by Max Factor as the "real Miss America". That seems more likely than the reasons listed. "Punkins" was a buxom blonde, often featured with a jack-o-lantern in promo photos...pretty similar to the nose art (that came after she was well-established). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.244.52.109 (talk) 22:36, 4 November 2010 (UTC) Punkinsparker (talk) 00:07, 30 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
