Herr Fussy

My favourite Mr Men book was Mr Fussy, it's only just occurred to me how much he looks like Adolf Hitler. Was that on purpose?

This is Mr Fussy's synopsis: Mr Fussy is so fussy that he'll polish you, scrub you, straighten you, clean you, mend you, dust you, iron you, tidy you up, and throw you away."

If that isn't a thinly veiled reference to the death camps I don't know what is. I'll now have to do some research to see which other dictators and despots are caricatured in these books.
