Oh, well... I have NO resources, NO people to lay off, and NO money.

I guess I'm lucky.

If I was running a business venture, I would NEVER try to do what I'm doing

as part of it.

I do it for fun.

I have my work on Icebox.com, and it's the most watched Independent

submission ever there, and they'd love to show more of my cartoons, but

they're a little antsy about it, because of who it deals with (Paramount &

Turner). I'd like to find out more about all this. Icebox told me that there

are some fine lines drawn, and I just want a magnifying glass.

My concept is popular, people want more, and I want to do it - I just want

to find out HOW I can do it, if I decide to venture beyond a hobby.
