# British Book Characters Robin Edds Illustrates Mr. Men and Little Miss Characters as Londoners By Malika Renee Butss | Published 2015-09-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-men-and-little-miss References: [stylist](http://www.stylist.co.uk/life/meet-the-little-miss-characters-of-london-youll-definitely-recognise-them) & [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/robinedds/mr-clearly-going-to-wake-up-in-morden) Mr. Men and Little Miss is an iconic [children's television show and book series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homepride-and-banijay-kids-family). Though the original series stars such characters as Mr. Silly and Little Miss Helpful, writer Robin Edds has crafted his own line of Mr. Men and Little Miss characters inspired by quirky Londoners. These [hilarious illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks) depict some of the odd behavioral traits that occur in London, England. In a city that is known for its often packed public transpiration system and high amount of tourists, these Mr. Men and Little Miss characters represent some of the impatient, irrational and rage-worthy traits some Londoners practice. With such characters as 'Little Miss #Brunch' and 'Mr. Lived Here 5 Years But Still Isn't Certain How to Pronounce "Marylebone,"' these illustrations truly capture some Londoners in the most comedic way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Localization of Popular Children's Characters:** Brands can tap into local cultures by creating variations of their popular children's characters that align with the unique traits and behaviors of specific regions. - **Humorous Brand Content:** Brands can create humorous content that portrays their products or services in an entertaining way, driving engagement and brand awareness. - **Personification of Urban Traits:** Personifying specific urban traits and behaviors can provide humor and entertainment value to audiences, while also promoting brand localization and cultural relevance. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Goods:** Consumer goods companies can create localized versions of their products that resonate with unique local cultures, driving sales and brand loyalty. - **Entertainment:** Entertainment companies can leverage personified local traits and behaviors to create humorous and relatable content that resonates with global audiences. - **Tourism:** Tourism companies can create humorous local characters to promote tourism destinations, driving interest and visitor traffic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pasta Sauce Characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-ridiculously-good.md) - [Cartoon-Themed Pasta Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-and-mr-men.md) - [Limited Rabbit-Themed Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miffy-1.md) - [London-Inspired Bear Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-1.md) - [Personalized Present Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonderbly-everyones-got-favourites.md) - [Holiday-Themed Tour Buses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grinchmas-afternoon-tea.md) - [Limited Humorous Art Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-shrigley-1.md) - [Show Skit-Inspired Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-bean-skit.md) - [Sitcom-Inspired Figurine Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-people-collector-set.md)
