Humbler Beginnings

A piece of the Once-Ler's life before he met the Lorax.

And yes, the little baby on the left playing with the teddy bear is him. ^^ Squeal as much as you want, ladies.

As for the toddlers Brett & Chett......Well they certainly do have faces only a (crabby) mother could love.>~<
I can just imagine they are a lot like Phil and Lil DeVile from "Rugrats," always fighting or eating really disgusting/inedible things (bugs, worms, lint, old candy, etc.).


And something tells me that Mr. & Mrs. Ler have been "seeing" other people.
Because there is certainly no way that all three of these boys have the same father (nor the same mother for that matter, because Oncie as none of the traits from Prissy).


Basically, Once-Ler's life is like the lives of "Norbit," "George Lopez," "Cinderella," and "Matilda" in a nut-shell.



Enjoy!
