      Yeah, I don’t know where this notion that he was an egg. I think it was Shrek or some similar thing that brought it to my attention that everyone thought he was supposed to be an egg.

      I always thought he was just a dumb dude. Just pictured him court jester for most of my youth.

          TIL Shrek was first written in the 1800s. I’m glad they finally made the movie version!

        Nah, was way before Shrek. I remember back in early 90s in elementary school seeing Humpty as an egg.
