Book sales haven't been over a million per year they only started doing as much mid summer 2019 had 20 million in print well they been out for 20+ years.
Okay the prior stories look on Penguin website you see the difference in covers there are a few that came out in the last 2 years that had an entirely different looking Llama Llama go ahead and look.
Those are some of the titles/stories/drawings they had after she passed and that is where they are coming from.
The writer for the old book titles is not the author of the cartoon series and vice versa you can check, everything for the series including the new characters (like the handicapped one) is new, has zero to do with the original author.
And books you do not get a 10% nobody does I bet they don't get 1% of the old titles but they get something, but there have "got" to be varying levels of payment for different titles and the ones we get the most from are those that are based on episodes and using the likeness that GNUS made, not the old Llama Llama image.
It is all about how many checks you are getting monthly, quarterly, yearly (in Psycho Bunnies case) and all together when you get 100's of them together is where the money stream grows.
I have said all along as the CEO its not about one thing making the money it is the 100's of different ones. Why do you guys think that licensing/royalties have risen this year there were no licensed items of not til September in any big way.
Do your digging, it would be foolish to not get something from everything if you are promoting a "brand" which Llama Llama is.
Books on episodes writer for the cartoon series has zero to do with the lady who passed. It couldn't happen, her "partner" I guess they weren't married said they had 20-30 stories books after she passed he could do.
But they were not all Llama Llama they were other titles as well as she had different series some since her passing have zero to do with Llama Llama.
Just count the episodes up and the books since the series debuted and how many will come, to think GNUS gets none of that isn't thinking clearly or understanding my friend.
I am not trying to be a know it all.
All right I have to go to bed, after this you guys can think what you wish, can lead a horse to water you cannot make them drink.
