  1. I like the artwork on these! When I see the word/name "Grumpy" translated in French ("Grincheux"), it makes me wonder if that could be how Dr. Suess came up with the name for his lead character in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."

    1. I think you are dead on Tokyo. Suess' Grinch from the French Grincheux (or "grumpy").
