The Mr Men and Little Miss characters created by Roger Hargreaves will form the 
theme of the 2009 Comic Relief fundraising event, Red Nose Day.

Some of the cartoon characters, licensed to Comic Relief by Chorion, are already
featured on the charity’s website, and also appear on the Early Years Kits fundraising
packs that will be distributed to nursery groups across the UK from January.

Comic Relief will also benefit from a new Mr Funny story written and illustrated
by Adam Hargreaves. Due for publication on 2 February 2009, £2 from the sale of 
each copy of ‘Mr Funny’s Red Nose Day’ will be donated to the charity.
