Miffed about Miffy
June 16, 2009
Remember Miffy? A dear friend I like to call Kevin Spacey reminded me of her tonight.
When I was little I used to hate Miffy. Well not so much hated Miffy as I hated the fact that the author/creator of Miffy’s name was Dick Bruna. My name is Bruna, and as a child having the word Dick in front of my name bothered me. Needless to say, I never took these books out at the library.
It still kind of botheres me. Alot.
Doesn’t it bother anyone else that a man who makes children’s books uses the nickname ‘Dick’ instead of Richard which I assume is his actual name.
He kind of looks like Santa Clause…the better to lure the children.
