Mr. Men is a British series of children's books and media franchise written and illustrated by English author Roger Hargreaves which began publication in August 1971.[1] From 1981, an accompanying series of Little Miss books by the same author (but with female characters) was published.
Anybody else remember a series of books with animals that seemed like a knock off of Mr Men/ Little Miss? I can't remember what it was called but I had a few. Can only remember one that I think was a pig or a horse that lived in a field that had an armchair and a TV like a typical living room.
I'm not sure if it is the same one, I only read the German translation. But I loved Little Miss Sunshine's story. It is increasingly more disturbing imagery straight from a horror movie and every other sentence ends with "Why is our story called Little Miss Sunshine?"
Of course it ends with her waking up and having not a single worry in the world.

Mr Tickle because of the long arms. Although I'm probably more Little Miss Shy.

Mr. Daydream!!! Little Miss Trouble and Mr Impossible were cool too but shoulda had better stories.
LadyButterfly@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Good choices! You'd think Trouble would have the best story the name gives license

Mr Uppity for sure.
Makhno@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Mr uppity's complexion is a choice 😂
LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 1y
Good choice! What do you like about him?
Hawke@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
Not sure. Just one of the ones I remember enjoying the most as a small child.
LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 1y
Ones with nice memories are often the best

Mr Grumpy knows what's up.

As someone with generalized anxiety disorder, I feel I can relate to Mr. Worry the best.

Mr perfect is clearly the best answer because he's perfect, all hail the new god king, be he ever merciful in his rule

I don't know what these are, but they are reminding me of that pack of markers that smelled like fruits from the 90s

The timeframe is plausible; they were out then.

Mr. Grumpy who would complain about the use of "whose" instead of "who's".

My gut choices without thinking about it are Mr Bounce and Little Miss Shy! :) loved these books! :)

I have a soft spot for Mr Topsy Turvy and to this day I still say "read it all about". Absolute favourite would be either Mr Tickle or Mr Grumpy.
