Here we are, the eve of the final day of the marathon! This is exciting--we're almost there!
Book #27:
Title: The Last of the Scrubbing Bubbles
Synopsis: An adventure story starring licensed cleaning company mascots. The Scrubbing Bubbles take on the world's filthiest bathroom, and only one survives to tell the tale--sorta like the graphic novel 300, but with Scrubbing Bubbles instead of Spartans. Cameos are made by Mr. Clean and the Foaming Pipe Snake.
Hey, this is my marathon, I can break some rules!
Of course nobody could (or should) publish a book starring characters from advertising. But I've always enjoyed the Scrubbing Bubbles--I loved them as a kid. They are so neat, so determined. They are a team, they cruise around churning out bubbles--what's not to like? They are also one of the few cartoon characters to survive the 2-D to 3-D transition gracefully.
Maybe I should contact SC Johnson, or whoever, see if they are interested in a book tie-in...
Wow, adult publishing does look dangerous. This is discouraging. I'm very determined to one day become a published author.... But, hey, maybe we should all do pro-sports instead. It's way more healthy!
ReplyDeleteYes! I love the idea! Of course copyrights and stuff may get in the way, but our young children in 2100 need to know what we did for entertainment-- watched commercials. Awesome commercials, where little micro-scopic srub brushes save the dirty bathroom from dirtiness.
History in the making, for sure!
This has been a fun ride (I can say that because it's only pretend,right? Right??).
