ABSOLUTE PROOF THAT I HAD THIS IDEA BEFORE ANYONE ELSE

or

The History of the Dustbunny

Now I know what you may be thinking, why would you need proof to showcase your talent under the name Dustbunny. The thing is there are other companies out there who use a similar icon for thier own finacial gain, and before anyone starts slapping me with lawsuits for copyright infringment etc.etc. This Dustbunny that I've decided to use as a company mascot came from my own imagination and not from some TV show or other outside influence. Shows like "Hey, Vern, it's Ernest!" (1989) and more recently "The Big Comfy Couch"(1992) have used similar characters.

But here we go. Way back in 1987, when my talent wasn't as hot as it is now, I'd doodle little cartoons on the sides of my schoolwork, or just on little scraps of paper, whatever. Some of these drawing from my youth have survived the test of time, and are still around.

It was whilest looking through some of these older drawings, I found a few old comics. One was "The Adventures of Stickman and Dustbunny."

So by choice, and because my friends and family members considered him to be so cute, I've revived the little bugger as my mascot. So if this leaves any question in your mind as to WHY a Dustbunny as a mascot...feel free to keep it to yourself...it's because I wanted to ... OK?
