2007: Year of The Pig? Time to unleash a secret weapon then...

Triple 'B' versus Brat 'The Pig Man' Lard - that is, lard as in a speech interspersed with stranger than strange words!
That's surely something everyone can relate to - everywhere!
Brat is just ONE of a cast of zillions (or so it seems) that populate a pet project of mine (pet in more ways than one!) which I have kept under wraps for too long already! Heck, it was the Year of The Dog (underdog?) and I already had this ready to go! Me and my damnable habit of "biding my time"...
Evidently, from the name, Brat here belongs to a cast, an elite even, that brings together anthpomorphism and sports entertainment like nothing has before...!
Also quite clear here, with my background in history and near-teaching, I strive to make my projects EDUCATIONAL as much as they are ENTERTAINING - and, here, one would learn about the world, all of its species, customs, ecological issues, even political ones and much, much more - all wrapped up, allegorically enough, in a send-up of pro-wrestling!
Nota Bene: Brat is not the headliner of this "show" - he can be dropped at a drop of a hat! I have a long list of 100% original characters to use before I resort to parodies of retired grapplers I don't even admire one iota...! "Amalgam characters", those gems in the rough that incorporate elements from various sources, are always best - for they become walking/talking cornucopias of interest then, rife with wondrous stories to tell and avenues of perennial interest to explore to the infinite degree that children of all ages - from age 7 to 77 - will enjoy and, indeed, learn a whole lot from! ;)


There is no doubt about it on my luminous mind that this little pet project of mine would make a killing as a cartoon, toyline, series of video-games, animated feature, CD-ROM offering, assorted merchandizing items - the works! Alas, I made the boo-boo of trusting a tiny itty bitty agency such as Gary Ahlert's to try and sell this overall concept as a toyline first... I probably should have created word-of-mouth publicity for it initially as a comic-book, à-la-T.M.N.T. I guess, and gone from there...! Generating interest is never easy, no matter the potential of the initial concept! Well then - I shall take the bully by the horns and do it all myself - since Gary never did the job! Onwards with the "WHOO-OH.W. RASSLIN WITH BITE" brand! I'll keep under wraps as much as I want still - to be unveiled only to serious bidders and companies with enough backbone to support this thing to the fullest...!
If you think that's your company - get in touch ASAP! ;)
