Mademoiselle, As usual, I loved reading your post but then I got to the link. I was disappointed that it did not work. However, I'm sure that at least one of those 125 comments was to let you know that it didn't work so you didn't need me telling you.

Mademoiselle--- So . . . You desperately wanted someone (besides your
uncles) to validate your yearning to be an artist by buying your work, but you didn't want to sell it to actually validate the validation. Hmmm. Step over to my couch and we'll talk about this.

I'm pretty sure Count Chocula is still around, Blanche.
Also, there's this cable channel called Boomerang (a spin-off of Cartoon network) which occasionally runs old commercials featuring such (sadly) extinct creatures as the Crunchberry Beast and the Chocodile.
