And prints? In my fantasy world every page of every picture book would be available as a high quality print and/or wallpaper. I feel sure there’s a market for this bigger than me.

I want a viola swamp shirt! And also I love what you said about Mac and Shawn’s merch: it feels authentic because it feels like they made it for them. A very important point I want to keep in mind in the future!

1. The Viola Swamp shirt -- I almost fell out of my chair. I'm so envious!

2. The Ottila costume. You are the winner of Halloween.
