The Poop is getting literal. Well, almost. Yesterday, Aidin Vaziri brought up Poo&Pee, the delightful abjection characters for kids. See, one is a hunk of adorable excrement and the other a darling volume of urine. Ick, sure. But seeing as how we have serious body and bodily function issues -- unicorns and Smurfs shoot out of our ass as far as everyone else is concerned -- we surprised ourselves last year when we bought the stuffed animal Poo&Pees for a friend who had just pooped (heh) out a kid. They're adorable. If you're into that kind of thing. [NSFW]
Also, it's a Swedish concoction, which might explain why we found it at a mildly chic Hayes Valley boutique. (HV wouldn't touch the stuff if it were hecho en México.)



makes for a wonderful holiday present too:

I understand the characters represented by the brown and yellow ends of the spectrum. But what about the colors in between?
Surely they can anthropomorphize these gradients into characters for the less-than-regular toddler. We don't want to stigmatize the child who may be confused as to why his particular kind of bowel movement lacks a mascot.
Also, can Mr. Hanky claim copywright infringement?
