Listen up everyone, profits are down. Our margins are lower. We can't continue operating like this. We need to improve our product. We need fresh, new ideas to keep the kids into it. To get the kids back into it. We need something to appeal to teens, to the elderly, to the adults, to the kids, to the sick. We need the next big thing, see?

*Takes a bite out of the cigar, chewing on it and swallowing shortly after*

Any ideas? We need something. Anything. The next big thing.

*Points to you*

What do you have to say. What's the next big thing. The next big product to make us a lot of money. Something that we can sell coasters of. Coasters, those rolling things the uh...lint rollers! That's it. Lint rollers, tumblers, tumblrs, tumbling roller coasters featuring the big thing at the biggest amusement parks. We need something huge. Hit me with it. I know you got an idea, give me anything.

ok, I'm thinking maybe we just need to add to our existing shows, ya know to really bring the kids in, new innovative characters like instead of just a large dog there is a smaller scrappier dog who has a stereotypically italian new york accent or maybe instead of dogs we can add a little space alien guy who keeps meddling in the affairs of the main characters and he can also have a stereotypical accent but not the same as the little dog.

ok... ok, instead of the army guys firing bullets at each other they shoot lasers, really deadly lasers that make everything they hit explode... except they never actually hit any people they just blow up the tanks and jeeps and planes and we make sure that the people in these vehicles all have parachutes and jump out and just stop fighting because.... i don't know... maybe they're ashamed that the good guys blew up their vehicles.... just spitballing here

What if we did Invader Zim but it was more obnoxious somehow oh wait that's just Uncle Grandpa what if a thing from Youtube was on Uncle Grandpa and Zim was there also and he was like "let's eat food or shout in the manner to which the audience has become accustomed" and what if there was an app of it.

What if Mark Trail had a storyline about... the Twitter? Would that get kids to read the comic pages? What about Mary Worth, with a Twitter? I keep hearing about Twitter.

The Lockhorns aren't drawing in the readers like it use to, so for phase 2, I say we make them even more bitter and depressed.

People are all about gritty and realistic these days. You know, I was watching that Breaking Bad show, and I had some thoughts about Hagar the Horrible. He's kind of an anti-hero, right? Well, I was thinking. Why don't we have Helga from Hagar the Horrible have an abortion? I think that would really generate some buzz.

wait wait... backup there.... what if we did a cartoon version of breaking bad? maybe add like a little cartoon dinosaur sidekick or something.

Ostentatious

*slams fists against the table, more cigars come out*

yes...YES! This is what I'm talking about! We need to maximize our sidekick output! More revenue!

Now I'm hearing a lot about Dilbert...and this breaking bad show. You all are the experts here, you make the money, what is the potential for a Dilbert themed breaking bad soft drink line?




Ostentatious

Okay, I just googled breaking bad, you should all be ashamed of yourselves promoting this smut in The Cartoon Company!

Kids love their crossovers, so why not have Dilbert and Mr. Breaking Bad work together, and let's say their sidekicks are...what if they were like the Cars from the Disney movie but Trucks instead to prevent copyright issues?

it's like fairy tales but instead of having a happy ending everyone dies in horrible agony at the end of every episode, ie a dragon will breathe fire on some knight, the evil stepmother just smothers Cinderella analog to death when she is still like 4

Well sir, musicals are still pretty hot but the only song rights I've been able to acquire are for Tubthumpin by Chumbawumba. I suggest a series based on a team of super heroes who save the day through seemingly choreographed song and dance routines. For the first season it'll have to be exclusively Tubthumpin but I was thinking for season 2 we can acquire the rights to Butterfly by Crazy Town and roll with that as well.

Marcus, this is a fantastic idea! Though I think a Tubthumpin roller coaster may be far too scary for the target demographic of 1-70. Though what about "Party Rock" by that hot new band LMFAO...

Counseling is a sham, put dance booths in every supply closet. They should dance the shame away, like our cartoons. We live by our cartoons.
