See this picture I drew? Super-Spiderman has all these cool powers and an awesome costume! He so cool that comic books and movies and shirts and stuff will sell like crazy. All right! What do we do first? Tell everyone? No! We gotta keep him a secret, cause we don't want the comic book companies to steal the idea! Ooh! Right!

I had an advertising client once who swore she thought of the name ‘Ziggy’ as a young girl. She went on to tell me that she’d thought of another fantastic comic strip character name, and wanted to know what it was worth. I started to say that she’d have to draw up some strips and send them to the syndicates… and she interrupted to say that she just wanted to sell the name to a cartoonist so she could put her daughter through college. The explanation about why that wasn’t going to work went on a ways. She never did say what the name was, for fear I’d ‘steal’ it.
