Along the lines of the Sesame Street dilemma<\/a> (more later), my brain is now being racked by memories of a children’s book (or series of children’s books, I believe) that I can picture, but can’t remember to save my ass.<\/p>\n

I think it was about a cartoon couple, they both had big round heads, and I think she always carried a purse around. The Tom Otterness sculptures<\/a> around Indianapolis brought it to mind (actually, my girlfriend’s mind, but now it’s infected me as well), and I can’t remember, or even come close Googling what it might be. If I were any kind of an artist, I’d draw it up, but I’m not. <\/p>\n

These books are probably from about 20-25 years ago, at least, but certainly they’re an “old standard” that has at least been kept around. If I think real<\/em> hard, I believe they were white with a bold black title across the top, and all the books might have been about 5″x5″, tops. Might have had a whole bunch of characters, but they all looked similar with big round heads and the husband and wife pair seemed to be a recurring theme.<\/p>\n

Any help?<\/p>\n

As for the Sesame Street deal, that still remains one of the most common searches that brings people here, and probably the most active comment section, too. Yet I think the boy vs. girl jury is still out, and no one seems to have a clip of the sketch. Help is appreciated there, too. <\/p>\n
