Hi Helen :) I’ve found a few places but the biggest problem is they require you to buy a MINIMUM of anywhere from 300 to 600 pieces at about 2 or 3 bucks a piece. I don’t think I could come anywhere close to selling that many right now :P

You know, I actually found a place that made plush toys out of your cartoon artwork.. I need to look for it again. I’d totally buy an alien of yours to snuggle!

I hear ya. It’s crossing the line when you take advantage of your site’s lofty status to sucker your readers into paying ten bucks for something that everyone else is happily disabling for free. I wonder how many people have actually paid him for it so far?? Hopefully more of the so called “A-list” blogs don’t follow suit.

Thanks for the link love.

It’s amazing to me what lengths people will go through to make a buck. I’m just happy it’s not me.

I really wish there were a place to do the plush toys. I can’t believe someone hasn’t thought of it yet =/

No worries about the delay! I hope you’re feeling better :) I’ll e-mail you the code I’m using for the random links =)

Oh this is a wonderful list Mike. That In Cinq site is so so so cool! I’m going to do one and write about it in my blog (crediting you with showing it to me first!)

As for plush Gummy dolls. I would buy a dozen. Wonderful idea if you can ever find a way to do it.

Your *prize* is coming soon. So sorry for the delay. I really truly was in a lot of pain last week. Coming back to life. Hey, would you be willing to share with me how you do your blogroll here (the random links)? I have searched high and low for a plugin and can’t find one.

Thank you Helen :)

I wish I knew of a place that would make plush toys based on your artwork, sorta like a Cafepress thing or something. Then it would be possible to snuggle the aliens :D
