Hi Brian
Unfortunately I am not that talented to be involved in the production. A locally based company here liked the character and books that are on the Pnet website. They can be downloaded in Powerpoint format and teachers can change the text to suit their kids. But cannot publish them as Goodlink have the trademark.

Anyway at a Licensing fair in Dubai a company like the idea that Ming was non violent and a happy guy . They then offerred to animate the cartoon version in association with Goodlink in Hong Kong

Goodlink then arrange the post production, music, songs, stories and voices to be done in Los Angeles. I believe the music guy apparently won some prestigious award for his work on Walt Disneys 'The Little Mermaid".
Anyway the series went to air in Hong Kong, Macau and Southern China. The ratings were very high and ATV were please with the series. Recently the local channel that is a competitor with ATV as a mjor free to air channel has rescheduled their programming so we are now competing with 'Sesame Street". Nice compliment.
I have had a look at your comic web site and am very impressed. Maybe we could collaborate one day and produce a Ming comic.
I am also at present looking at producing a Ming board game to teach an aspect of English.
