“Mad Men” transformed into “Mr. Men”
Remember childhood favorites Little Miss Chatterbox and Mr. Grumpy? Now imagine those beloved characters sucking down cigs and downing whisky like water and you have “Mad Men Mr. Men.”
In a joint venture between AMC and the estate of Roger Hargreaves, creator of the Mr. Men series, the characters of “Mad Men” get a “Mr. Men” makeover for a series of books with titles like Mr. Draper Loses His Trousers and Little Miss Peggy Gets Another Bump In Her Tummy.
“People are saying to us all the time, ‘Why do this?” says AMC executive Tony Tolberg. “Well, I’ll tell you why. Harry Potter showed the world that books could bridge the gap between children and adults. Mad Men Mr. Men stretches that gap even wider and builds a larger bridge – a bridge over the river Why.”
