Although it’s not exactly uncommon to see a smile on Dimitry Elyashkevich’s face, it’s not exactly a common sight either. There is, however, one scenario in which he can almost always be counted upon to get extremely giddy and that’s whenever anyone else around him is grumpier than he is. Not an easy thing to do given his classically dour Russian heritage.

On this particular day in 2001, we’d hit the streets of Los Angeles without much of a clue as to what we were gonna film other than Preston Lacy pushing Wee Man around in one of those off-road jogging strollers. However, it was only out in the field that we discovered the stupid thing was too small to accommodate Wee’s hammy ass. So there we all were, standing around on the sidewalk with the wheels falling off our production, when Wee Man started to get real crabby and short with everyone. Unfortunately, as you can see here by the unabashed look of glee on Dimitry’s face, it’s rather hard to take a pissed-off man in a diaper and baby bonnet seriously.

Since that time, Dimitry has written several more bits involving Wee Man in a baby bonnet and diaper, the majority of which have all ended with Wee Man grumpy to some extent—much to Dimitry’s delight.
