A little over a year ago, I came across a line of literary action figures that quickly became a reader favorite. (Let's face it, the Brontë Sisters power dolls render one powerless to resist.) Now comes a series of finger-puppets/magnets from the folks at Philosophers Guild, depicting cultural icons across the arts (Warhol, Van Gogh), science (Einstein, Freud), politics (Gandhi, Che Guevara), and beyond.
Ranging from the delightful (Come on, it's Frida Kahlo. As a finger puppet.) to the borderline inappropriate (The Buddha, really?) to the comically charming (How adorable is fuzzy-haired Einstein?) to the amusingly off-character (Is it just me, or does Freud look like he wants to bake you cookies?), these farcical fellows are a zany invitation to have a sense of humor about the figures and characters we normally regard with our highest cultural uptightness.
