We're coming back as quick as you like with a Who Am I to finish today's show. Stay with us. Question 20, Who Am I? Born in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire in England in May 1935 with the first name Charles. I attended what is now Trinity Academy Solby Bridge and worked in my father's dry cleaning business before landing a job in advertising. Advancing through the ranks, I became the creative director at Foot, Cone and Belding and developed a series of characters known as The Miseries to promote ascot headache powders. In 1971, over breakfast, my son Adam asked me what a tickle looked like, so I drew one And what I drew evolved into a colossal commercial juggernaut, allowing me to quit my day job in 1981 and selling more than 250 million books across 28 countries. In total, I wrote six different series of children's books, including Hippo, Potto and Mouse, Roundies and Squareys and Timbuktu. And my work continued after my death in 1988 when my son continued producing stories under my name. My undisputed masterpiece remains the 48 book series, each featuring a different character, Mr Tickle, Mr Impossible, Mr Happy and Mr Chatterbox to name but a few. The Little Miss series of books followed and my legacy includes TV shows, school supplies and over 700 related merchandise products. The Mr Men and Little Miss properties were sold by my estate in 2011 to the creators of Hello Kitty and for an estimated 270 million pounds. I am Roger Who. We've all read the Mr Men books. I am Roger Hargraves. And I remember many, many years ago, I must have been around seven, a family friend staying with us and reading me over and over. the Mr Impossible book. Still my favourite in the series. This has been Car Trip Trivia. Thanks so much again for joining us. We know there's lots of options out there in the world of podcasting.
