We don't own the characters. Duh. They belong to Victor Hugo, and if you didn't know that, you probably didn't understand this. The format is taken straight from the masterpiece "The Gashlycrumb Tinies" by Edward Gorey, whom we have copied with love. No copyright infringement is intended.
This is silly, I want to go Back.
