Lloyd... just what IS the deal with Airborne? Did they pay you to use your cartooning, and then they went ahead and hired somebody else to draw it instead? Do they still send you bucks? Did you wave artistic control of your own stuff? Do I ask too many questions??
It's like they put Dangle drawings through a cheery pussified filter and crapped that out.
Airborne bought the rights to the little guy, and yeah, they got somebody else to draw it. The marketing department thinks it's a good idea to blandify the $100-million-a-year brand for which they probably saved a couple thousand bucks.
Thanks for telling us what it was — we wouldn't have known otherwise. Great idea. Take your very-familiar branding and change it for no good reason.
