I totally smell a children’s book.

Who wants to buy the rights to all these characters that I just invented, and now own the rights to, in perpetuity throughout the known universe and throughout such other universes or dimensions that may become known at some later date?

2. Dan Says…

I’m not sure if I want to sell individual names. I was thinking more of a package deal. Say, $1.5 million for the bunch? The book almost writes itself. You’ll make that back in first week sales alone.

Haha, I quite like all of them. I’m far from $1.5 million. But eh…I’d rather not. Childrens books aren’t really my forte.
Maybe my next solo cd will be like this.

Nah…hehehe.
