There are some awful, awful C.V's
in this world. How people get jobs I don't even know...

Although there can be little
in the world more pitiful than the slush-pile at a children's book publisher. Childish, crayon-drawn pictures of amorphous blobs with names like 'Snicky and Snacky' with notes attached saying things like, "My grandchildren can't get enough of Snicky and Snacky's adventures. The bright colours and hilarious story-lines will appeal to children of all ages."

And then, even more pathetically, "These characters are subject to copyright. If you do not wish to use them then please return them to us and we shall be forced to find another publisher."

I really thought Snicky & Snacky would be my meal ticket, too.

Well, to be perfectly honest
...they could have been. The basic idea was no less facile than that of, say, Charlie and Lola. It's the artistic presentation and the thought that goes into making informative or funny, age-appropriate dialogues/stories which count.

With Ragdoll or Hit Entertainment behind them Snicky and Snacky could have taken over the world and had their own TV series and lunchboxes. Poor Vagabond - so close and yet so far...

I like the sound of Snicky and Snacky. They sound like they have vim and pep. I would certainly commission a twelve book series and perhaps a trilogy of films, if I worked in that sort of thing.
