I *KNEW* it was Stuwwelpeter! I did some research, but the only Struwwelpeter I came up with was about a boy who never washed, but the name was definitely setting off bells. I hadn't read the fairy tale since 1991, so I guess my memory of it was a bit hazy. Thanks muchly, phukraut!!

I read a few of these in my 9th grade German class...it's a good thing I never read them as a kid because old German fairy tales are sure messed up. I'd have had nightmares for sure.
