senior stinky and almundo

To get a little more goofy than normal, I was thinking about a kids book. It would be fun to write.

The adventures of Senior Stinky and his sidekick the cactus, Almundo (instead of El Mundo).

They would go around the world helping kids and their family's deal with economic injustices, imbalances and just 'falling through the cracks in today's global marketplace. After all, the world is a pretty big place and so the cracks can get pretty gigantic!' Through their adventures, kids learn about world finance, global economics, differing standards of living, environmental impacts of economic activity, poverty, wealth, stocks, markets...and basically money and life and a balance between the two.

Of course there would be funny antics (always has to be antics), such as Almundo 'popping a balloon with his thorns' type humor...almost self mocking...

Senior stinky's background is not known and the audience learns a little more about him in each adventure? Is he educated in economics? Why is he doing this? How did a cactus become his sidekick? Was peyote involved?

Anyway, just a side project that will never get done because there are so many to do...but it would be fun...(that's something I love about the blog. Instead of the idea occurring and wisping away, it's fun to at least write down a smattering of ideas...)

and then say adios...
