The Easy Breather opposes tobacco consumption and defends truth, justice and clean air. Minerva Walker wants to raise her children outside a Darwinized school system. Both women are LCMS members.
Why do I favor NBC Universal? Time Warner has enough superheroes due to its ownership of DC Comics, and Fox has enough animated sitcoms. Minerva would also be competing against ABFS projects from Disney, Viacom and Sony Pictures.
Another possibility with NBC Universal is a webcomic in which Minerva and her family are miraculously transported, stark naked, to the world of The Land Before Time. Minerva’s message would be that dinosaurs (1) did not speak human language, (2) were created with other land animals less than a day, not “millions of years”, before humans and (3) coexisted with humans for 2,000 years at most.
At present I am creating my stories on a nonprofessional basis. I have not yet been approached by a commercial entertainment producer, and both of my projects are subject to changes. No media company is perfect, but if I must sell to a major studio, my only choice is NBC Universal.
The characters are intended to be animated, but for different audiences. Stories with Minerva would be suitable for family viewing, but the Easy Breather would work better in a more mature limited series, à la Invasion America. Quality-of-life issues aside, I am less concerned about innocent nudity in art and entertainment than I am about aberrant sexual behavior (including promotion of homosexuality), gratuitous violence, vulgar language, discordant music, prejudicial stereotypes (unless they are rebuked) and disrespect for legitimate authority (including tattoos, body piercings and men with earrings).
Most public schools, to my knowledge, discourage students from wearing clothes that feature elements of popular culture: not only characters from television and movies, but also musical performers, professional athletes, comic strip characters and advertising mascots. This would not be such an issue if more parents would educate their children at home.
I would like more than anything else to sell branded products from my site, but I want to avoid the appearance of selling to children. At present I may be able to offer a series of public service messages, featuring my characters, to be printed on label paper and pasted over tobacco ads in magazines. I also have begun development of a video game featuring the Easy Breather, for Mac OS X.
