He is one of the few Mr. Men and Little Misses featured in the two Mr. Men Show cosplay mall shows in Singapore. The character of Mr. Happy is perhaps the most simple-looking, as he is merely being a bright-yellow circle with a wide smile, Mr. Happy also appeared in a commercial for SUBWAY, along with Little Miss Sparkle, Mr. Cool, Mr. Noisy, and Little Miss Fun.

Mr. Miserable · Mr. Right · Mr. Thrifty · Mrs. Thrifty · Little Miss Penny · Little Miss Prudence · Wilfred the Wizard · Mr. Careless · Little Miss Nobody · Mr. Mean's brother · Little Miss Bump · Mr. Beefeater's FamilyThe book Mr Happy written by Roger Hargreaves tells the story of a character called Mr Happy, who lives in Happyland, a place where even the animals and flowers are happy. One day whilst walking in a wood Mr Happy spots a small door. Inside, Mr Happy meets someone who looks exactly like him but instead of smiling this person is miserable. The character introduces himself as Mr Miserable. Mr Happy tells Mr Miserable to come and stay with him in Happyland. Whilst staying in Happyland, Mr Miserable slowly but surely stops being miserable and begins to smile. The story ends with Mr Happy and Mr Miserable laughing happily together. Whether Miserable actually exists, or is just a manifestation of the buried emotional distress, doubts and fears of Mr. Happy - that's left up to the reader to decide. However, to diagnose our hero as suffering from schizophrenia would be perfectly justified - and the classic 'voices in the head' symptom would certainly solve the talking birds/worms quandary.

His portrait appears in the Hippo, Potto and Mouse book Potto Finds a Job, which is another Roger Hargreaves book series. He seems to be prone to depression, as shown in books like "Mr. Nobody" and "Little Miss Magic" and in the episode of Mr. Men and Little Miss, " A Very Happy Day for Mr. Happy", where he was depressed for days, (though those reasons above were because other people were unhappy).Mr. Cheeky · Mr. Christmas · Mr. Birthday · Little Miss Jealous · Little Miss Christmas · Little Miss Birthday · Little Miss Stella · Mr. Moustache · Little Miss Explorer · Little Miss Valentine · Mr. Bolt · Little Miss Waste Less · Mr. Octopus According to a Mr. Men treasury released in 2015, Adam Hargreaves finds him the hardest character to draw. He says, "Even though he is the simplest, I find Mr. Happy the most difficult. There are less breaks in the outline so I have to draw a longer perfect circular line to get him right. I sort of work from the outside inwards, always starting at the top, with the hat if they had one, and then draw the outline leaving gaps for the arms and legs and their face and expression come last". This was mentioned again in the Mr. Men 50th Anniversary Special Rivals: Mr. Rude, Mr. Slow, Mr. Mean, Mr. Grumble, Little Miss Bossy, Mr. Clumsy, Little Miss Helpful, Mr. Stubborn, Little Miss Scary, Little Miss Bad, Aliens Dr. First · Dr. Second · Dr. Third · Dr. Fourth · Dr. Fifth · Dr. Sixth · Dr. Seventh · Dr. Eighth · Dr. Ninth · Dr. Tenth · Dr. Eleventh · Dr. Twelfth · Dr. Thirteenth

Although he wants other people to be happy, in the books, he was nearly always happy in the series. He tends to hide his other emotions (sadness, fear, anger, etc.) behind his grin. An example of this was in " Boats" was when Mr. Happy had a smile to remain positive when the S.S. Stubborn was sinking.While in the modern western world man chases fame, fortune and the respect of his peers, in more archaic cultures the ultimate pursuit is for a greater level of understanding or some kind of connection with a higher force. Whatever the culture, man does this for a single reason: because he thinks it will make him happy. This pursuit of happiness is the meaning of life, the always just-out-of-reach goal for humans the world over. In the original books, Mr. Happy is the series' mascot, but in the show, that status is given to Mr. Bump. Charles Roger Hargreaves was an English author and illustrator of children's books, notably the Mr. Men and Little Miss series, intended for very young readers. He is Britain's third best-selling author, having sold more than 100 million books.

The actual story starts with him going for a walk in Happyland, when he discovers a small door at the bottom of a tree trunk. He then goes through the door, and down a small staircase, where he finds a room at the bottom. Mr. Miserable resides inside the room, and he looks exactly like Mr. Happy, except with a big frown instead of a big smile. Mr. Happy takes Mr. Miserable out with him and invites him to stay in Happyland for a while. After the scene has been established, Mr. Happy goes for a walk whereupon (and with a nod to the great CS Lewis) he discovers a tiny red door in the trunk of a tree. Behind the door is a small room in which we meet Mr. Happy's alter-ego, Mr. Miserable. In the Mr. Men Show, he says to love beans ( Canned Goods), but in the "Mr. Men A Christmas Carol" book, he does not like beans, which is a contradiction. Beans are a sort of food-standard in Dillydale.

Success!

He was redesigned briefly during the 1980's, to feature a red cap. He has never been seen wearing this cap in any media past the 1980's. He loves animals, as shown in Reptiles and Pets, though he seems to have trouble with monkeys as shown in Hobbies, Music, and Hotel. Mr. Happy, the fourth member of the Mr. Men family, is in a state of perpetual happiness. Quite how this state of happiness has been achieved is unclear. He lives in a house of a similar size and style to that of the other Mr. Men we have already met. He displays no obvious trappings of wealth or success, no enviable family from which he may derive some kind of pride or worth and offers no insight, wisdom or religious beliefs. Mr. Miserable stayed in Happyland for a while, and Mr. Happy helped him to become even happier. Mr. Miserable learned that there was always something to smile about, even in the darkest of times. Overtime, Mr. Miserable starts becoming less sad and more happy, when he eventually becomes just as happy as Mr. Happy, and laughing a lot with him. And he never forgot the kindness of Mr. Happy, the man who taught him how to be happy. This story ends with a message to tell the reader that if they are ever sad, to simply turn up the corners of their mouth.
