Yesterday I had lunch with a good friend of mine who I hadn’t seen for a while. While she is a real Dede fan, she is not keen on reading online and doesn’t read the blog regularly. So I usually give her the run-down on what has happend in the Dede World since we last met. Of course she hadn’t heard about my latest scheme. When I told her about the coffee mugs she got quite excited and immediately thought of a friend she could give a Monkey cup to. The problem was, there was no Monkey cup planned as yet. In the afternoon I sat down and created a second series with just head shots of a few puppets. They are ones who I definitely know have fans out there in the big wide world.
I don’t really want to talk about the Zazzle store every day. Unfortunately that is what is on my mind at the moment as I need to get my head around it all. I promise next week I will move on to other stuff again.

I like Monkey’s image! As mentioned earlier…some potentially less well known characters might be graphically more interesting.
I pondered about this for a while: Monkey, Devil, Mouse, Alien…. these are the iconic characters that can exist without the rest of the Dedes. Other characters like Socialite or Deutsch Fraulein or even Nosy Neighbour, who have an important standing within the Dede community will have a hard time to fend for themselves.
They are the ones who are not holding their hands up yet. I believe they are worried they might become the losers in what could be seen as a ‘popularity’ contest.
