Who remembers these calendars as a kid?

I had searched periodically probably for over 10 yrs trying to find info on a calendar I recalled as kid. They were in my doctor’s office and featured all these little “creatures”. Couldn’t recall exactly if they were people or critters or something in between.
Yesterday, after speaking with one of my cousins about old kids shows, I decided to search once again. This time, for some reason, Google provided the answer in an “AskMetaFilter” post that someone had made in 2016 asking the exact same question.

Interesting story actually.

My great grandmother had a collection of these, they always kinda creeped me out.

 

Haha! I was pretty young when I had seen them. Was more afraid of the doctor and needles that’s for sure. lol!

 

It might have just been a Canadian thing. It sure though.
