mr fussy based on hitler? (1 Viewer)

[La La]

i was reading some mr men and little miss books to a young child i teach on the weekends when i happened upon Mr Fussy.

don't you agree that he looks alot like hitler? what was roger hargreaves thinking???!

 

[Goff]

Nope. Hitler's hair was different.

He looks more like Arthur Lowe, who narrated the stories in the cartoon version on the BBC before his untimely death, when Vincent Price cut his head off and left it in the bed for his wife to find in the morning.

No, wait...hang on. Something wrong with that memory.

 

[La La]

oh yeah, i just googled hitler and saw he had a side parting. but still, mr fussy DOES bear an uncanny resemblance. and mr clumsy, who comes to visit, (in the buke) looks alot like hitler might have after a night on tequila and speed.

- see?

 

[Goff]

Yeah, that one does look a bit like adolf. In one of his smiling portraits.

Hitler was fussy about lots of things.

did anyone ever get the full set of mr men/little miss books?

i so desperately wanted a complete collection so that the spines would spell out the series - alas it was not to be.

kiddies books are awesome - just finished danny the champion of the world with one of the other kids and have him on the BFG now. BFG was one of the best books I ever read as a kid........

 

[Goff]

No, but I'm a few away from a full set of first edition Peter And Jane books.

I plan on teaching my kids to read using them.

I've got a few sets, in my bookshop though. I can look at them and go "deadly" but then kids come in and mess up the display or buy some of the byouks. .|..|

i swear, my children are going to be readers. i grew up on books and am so glad for it - and funnily enough alot of the material these kids' parents have bought is the same stuff i used to read, i guess good kiddies books never go out of fashion.

here, for you:

Thanks, lala! Must spread rep, etc.

Is that Sawyer from Lost?

Hargreaves was a nazi. Right so. I'll be onto the Guardian and Joe Duffy in the morning.

We'll get an honest to God book-burning going.

LaLa, this all your fault! Any chance you had of getting that complete set is probably gone up in smoke.

Thank God P&J were British....

what's a 'sawyer'?

 

[Goff]

That is. Spot the difference.

That is. Spot the difference.

oh, he's the hot one apparently. the girls i used to live with would fuckin melt on their chairs when he was on.

I think my mother was getting at something when I was small and bought me Mr.Messy and Little Miss Bossy.

If Herge had drawn him I'd be suspicious.

I think Mr Nazi & Mr Floppy Penis were based on Hitler. Mr Fussy was based on this guy who was particularly fussy. The moustache was a late addition to disguise his character from reality.
