Roger Hargreaves had created the Mr Men, the characters that have punctuated millions of childhoods here and abroad, through books, television and product endorsements.
Roger Hargreaves' commercial nous can be seen in the way that he and his agent, Richard Culley, seized on the potential of licensing in the mid-1970s, following in the footsteps of Disney.
Hargreaves was again an early adopter of an important intellectual property trend: increasing the value of characters through television exposure.

Roger Hargreaves was born in 1935 in Cleckheaton, Yorkshire, England.
I know very little about his childhood, although I know he had an ambition to be a cartoonist.
Roger began his career as an author later in life, but first followed a career in advertising, and he became a creative director at a London advertising firm.

 Dan Telfair's Review of In The Wet
In the course of his duties, Roger Hargreaves becomes involved with 'Pisspot Stevie', an aging, alcoholic/opium smoking, diseased, ex-pilot, ex-ringer, has-been, who is also no one's idea of a hero.
The story shifts as the Reverend Hargreaves sits the deathwatch with Stevie in a squalid cabin, in the wet - Stevie, whose mind is poisoned with disease and opium and Roger Hargreaves, whose fevered mind is deranged by a bout of malaria.
At this point there is an abrupt shift in the story as the scene is moved from Roger's deathwatch with Stevie, to a test flight somewhere in England, and sometime in the future.

 Pablo & Mija's Treehouse: Cast of characters
Even though he does achieve the impossible once in a very blue moon, Pablo is represented on these pages by the violet varmint because Mija is of course Little Miss Naughty, and their paths cross most appositely in this story of ours, which is a shameless perversion of the Roger Hargreaves original.
You catch her here in the middle of some terrible mischief, probably taken from a story we sorta kinda wrote in which she gets her long-overdue comeuppance.
See how Roger Hargreaves deals with the naughty miss in his original story of Little Miss Naughty.

 Judging books by their covers: Mr Cool — Roger Hargreaves   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
These thirty-four pages of shameless cash-in were actually written by some cuntmouth scion of his called Adam Hargreaves, but he apparently decided to pretend that it was by Roger Hargreaves as "a tribute" to his father.
This inverted blue triangle is called Mr Cool not because he is in any way associated with sub-zero temperatures, but because he is just one of the cynical cash-ins - sorry, exciting new characters - necessary to make the Mr Men "relevant" in the 21st century.
By 2009, I expect it to read "My Mr Men Library ", by which point Adam Hargreaves will be living in a diamond house and paying tribute to his father by wiping his arse with fifty-pound notes.
