Yes, I think you are. You may be paying too much attention to the technology. Two clever strokes in this idea:

* Identifying huge excess inventory in the market for cartoons and generating value from it

* Positioning cartoons in a manner similar to premium fonts, for bloggers and online publications

I have in mind (it's not my idea mind you) a Javascript blob one would stick on their blog, like you would for the HF+J fonts, and then an interface for picking cartoons (or themes of cartoons) out for individual posts.

Is there an example of this, or could you please elaborate? I'd love to explore this idea.
