 Seems my reply to this bit of aggression wasn't clicked save -

So here's a brief repeat -

Never claimed creation

Never claimed copyright - since you are expert you should know that works in the 

   public domain are free to use

I have owned or been major shareholder in three adv. agencies over the years.

There's not much you can purport to know on this subject that I am not well versed.

Remember Louis the Fly and Grim reaper? Was substantially involved in both.

So rest easy.

Louie the Fly was his name, just how substantially were you involved? Not very?

 In the early 60's McCann (son) came to Sydney as part of an expansion project

and came to our agency amongst others in which I held a substantial interest and we spent

time together - much discussion and laughs surrounded the concept

of Louie but the style and trend certainly developed from those discussions.

I had never heard of the agency till then - it being a US entity - too big for us

and would wipe us out.

At the time I was setting up an exclusive Northern NSW distribution for Kodak, Ferrania,

Fuji and Toyo graphic products and services so was not really interested in

losing the agency business because that part of things dovetailed with the supply.

I'm happy to remember that quite a lot of the concept and style of Lois came out of

our weekend including parts of the jingle.

What else would you like to know?
