It's Miffy!

Mrs Kennedy was contacted by Miffy's people and you know I love a good kerfluffle more than I like drinking until my kids are maimed. (Look how I do that! 10 years from now I'll be doing that! Stop reading now because it's not changing. Just ask the Presbyterians. It's been three years and I still make references to that one time....)

I guess the problem is that a long time ago Mrs Kennedy professed her undying love for Miffy. How can you not love Miffy? She's everything wonderful about the Netherlands. Besides being there with Alice. But apparently Miffy's people don't love free advertising and so they asked Mrs. Kennedy to shut the hell up about Miffy.

Okay.

So she replaced the Miffy image she had on her site with another drawing. A homemade Miffy compliments of a Sharpie and Jackson.

Miffy's people are still pissed.

I tried to leave this as a comment but blogger is having it's period and won't let me.

I asked Mrs Kennedy if Maddie could share her cell. Because Maddie is screwed if creating a 'likeness' is verboten.

I wonder if Miffy's creator, Dick, would appreciate Maddie's bondage version of Miffy.

What about Maddie's so called "Japanese Miffy":

Maybe Dick would like "Elvis Miffy" aka "Hitler Miffy'!" So cute! So Cuddly!

Maddie has a whole folder of this artwork. In a Miffy (totally legally obtained) folder. I dare the Dutch to come take it from her.

Take it from her cold dead hands.

Besides trying to bait Miffy's people into a fight, I also wrote a new post at the buzz off. Free coffee! $25 off $50 worth of clothing! 50% off a Janet Taylor approved 1 ounce sized flask! (I'll never move on. Ever.)

God... these are like really twisted Rorschach tests. I looked at the ones on the Flickr page and I nominate the pox-faced one as Syphilis Miffy.

This made me laugh for so many reasons. Mark and I made up an x-rated version of the theme song - TAKE THAT DUTCH MIFFY PEOPLE! And now we keep making horrible puns about them being miffed about Miffy, because we are lame. Maddie's drawings are so awesome, I want to look at the entire folder.

And finally, I think the cartoon is inane. When it comes on Charlotte screams "NOT THIIISS!"

I keep looking and laughing, thanks for that. Smooch Maddie for me.

Hitler Miffy! That just shouldn't be funny (bad slouching mom), but it is, it is! And you're like me, you know how to hold a grudge. It's an art, Melissa.

"Never Move On!" It's like, the Mother's Alamo.

[Womanwithkids]

Oh my. Bondage Miffy, for the future S&M fans of the world.

[Suebob Davis]

That Hitler Miffy has a cold, cold look in his eyes. Scary.

And I just like saying Hitler Miffy. Hitler Miffy. I think I found the perfect name for my punk band.

You should know that some of us appreciate the Not Moving On. Some of us think it Never Gets Old. Because some of us are also A Bit Mental, Apparently.

Wow...Having never read the Presbyterian stuff until now, I have to give you serious credit for the fact that you haven't by now grabbed a rifle, climbed a clock tower, and....y'know. Given all of the other drama in your life (as well as your being a raging alcoholic) it really shows an admirable level of restraint on your part. It makes for spectacular reading, though, so many thanks for unselfishly giving the gift of schadenfreude.

[Mrs. Kennedy]

Hitler Miffy! Holy shit, I think lasers shot out of her eyes when she looked at me. I am DYING, these are so good.

I'm new to the Presbyterian saga as well but in reading all about it, I feel your angst. I have my former book group completely in a tizzy since my post:

And now I'm getting the silent treatment and expect to wake up one night to find a laptop burning on my lawn.

A Miffy Smackdown!

I am so Digging & del.icio.us"ing" this right now.

Long live M!ffy, and all her hand drawn incarnations.

Would a Hitler M!ffy be a Hiffy?

Sounds kind of iffy to me.

As much as I love Harajuku Miffy, I think Bondage Miffy is my favorite -- and rather appropos.

[Jazz Brown]

I can't believe this is about a cartoon that is lovingly being adored! How crazy is this! I'm looking forward to the T-shirt that comes from this... he, he.

P.S. You keep beatin' that horse, ya hear? Some of us are just as mad as you are and find it hilarious.

Japanese Miffy is AWESOME!
That tee shirt! OMG, Maddie got it soo right.

[BOSSY]

Bossy can't stop reading Melissa because you are an equal match in tenacity. Don't ever surrender the fight. Even way past your ability to remember the origin of said fight (darn that alcohol for killing Bossy's brain cells! Alcohol consumed while watching her kids, of course.)

I will be in the Netherlands and Amsterdam next month. I will seek and see if Miffy is really as miffed as her creator says he is about Fussy's blog content. Failing that I would really like to know what you really enjoyed on your weekend in Amsterdam. I am spending my last weekend on vacation there and am wondering what the cool kid recommends :)

amyinbc@gmail.com Yeah, 'maia' is my daughters name. I like it so much I use it as my blogworld handle.

The Tulip gardens? Museums? Anne Frank Museum? Just wandering? What would you do if you could go back for a weekend?
