Michael, have you ever watched a children's show called "Zoboomafoo"? I'm guessing not, since you have enough programming time that I doubt you have small kids.... Anyway, if not, you may get a kick out of it. It's on PBS Kids; the web site is http://pbskids.org/zoboo/
The reason I mention it is that there's a short claymation segment of each show where one character looks EXACTLY like Sticky. Although this picture doesn't do it justice, it's close:

You ought to watch the show sometime - just to see this character in motion. It's uncanny how similar Slimantha and Sticky are.
Hey, maybe you could sell PBS some technology...

I see what you mean Goldenhawk. Is it a brand new show? The thing is there is always going to be similarities between any dinosaur/lizard/gecko type creatures, and I think it's probably more important what you do with the character. I guess it does irk me sometimes how the project could grow if it had the exposure and popularity that more resources could generate. Oh well, no matter what, Sticky will always be the "smarter" of the lot!
