No sir, not the PC name for those of short stature. But rather the appendage-less little wooden and plastic people that occupied so much play time from my youth. Due to the proximity gods I have occasion several days a month to visit my mother's. While there last weekend I came upon some those Fisher price toys and was overcome with a wave of nostalgia. I have nothing brilliant to say about them except that they inspired imagination, were really well made, and were a hell of a lot of fun (having survived two generations and counting). These images are a mix of folks that include a pig from the farm set, a construction worker from a later set of my brother's, a dentist, a giraffe from a circus train, and Gordon-Bert-Grover from a Sesame Street set. The interiors are from the Little People Village.
So, here we have a construction worker sending a package via the usps. He had to forego the gentlemanly custom of removing one's hat whilst in a building due to the fact that his engineering makes it impossible. I know, I've tried. And Gordon is dating his dentist, apparently. How long has THAT been going on? And, lastly, the assembled group with pets included. Very bright and cheery, indeed! I believe I still have the little chicken from the farm. I'll find it and you can give it to Krista.
