Looney Tunes Newsletter 06-OCT-98
Hi Everyone,
Tweety Pie's Clipart Connection has been competely moved over now.
The old site will stay up for those who prefer that format but
all new updates will be done on the LT Express. Also we will only
place new clipart on there when we have 25 new images. This will
let us make a pack that you can download of all of the clipart
and help keep us from constantly changing things around on it.
This should mean that there will be a new clipart pack coming out
about every 3-4 weeks.
We also won an award this week from Mommie's on the Web!. They
provide links to kid friendly and generally nice sites on the net
and have lots of information for stay-at-home moms and parenting,
check them out at http://www.fortunecity.com/millenium/blossom/94 if you have kids. Lockergnome also featured
us in his newsletter 2 weeks ago. His site is at www.lockergnome.com and features a lot of information on new
stuff on the net and windows tips and tricks. I've been
subscribing for a long time and was surprised to see us in there!
We are aware of the system slowdowns occuring on the site too. I
have emailed Simplenet about it but haven't gotten a response yet.
Hopefully this is some temporary problem on their end.
If you see any new items in stores,
have any other news or would like to submit something to the
newsletter please email it to me so I can spread the word!
Thanks,
Richard

-Walmarts has the new
Matrix Miniature Ornaments. There are 12 of these 
also at .97
each. Bugs as Santa, Sylvester banging on a drum, Angel Tweety,
Daffy on a big bell, Sylvester painting Tweety, Yosemite Sam on
skis, Taz on a top, Taz as Santa, Marvin riding a gold rocket,
Tweety in an Iceskate, Wile E. Coyote on a bomb and Lola singing.
-The Studio Stores have some motorized candy dispensers. They
have Taz and Bugs at ours packed with Skittles. They are about 4-5"
tall. When you push the button they turn and hand you candy from
the box beside them. Forgot to get the price but I figure around
$9-$10 there.
-The Studio Stores also have 3 new beanies out. Porky, Petunia
and 
Tweety in a Nightshirt. $7 each or 3/$18.
-Walmarts has some nice pens in. There are some Lacquer finished
ones with a figural head on the top($10), some Lacquer finished
ones with metal figure clips($10) and some aluminum ones with
patterns on them and a colored character for the clip($5). Only
the major characters on them. Thanks to Bruce for the tip!
-Office Depot has some new Dayrunner items in. They have blotter
calendars, month-at-a-glance and many other items out. Mostly
Bugs, Taz, Daffy and Tweety featured. Thanks to Bruce for the tip!
-I have gotten an
email from a WB Collectors Guild member and they are definitely
shut down. As far as I know this is the only collectors club out
there for WB. Anyone know of any others? (or better yet-any rich
person with a lot of time on their hands want to start one? :)

I received the ornaments that San Francisco
Muxic Box Co. is selling and they are pretty nice. They are hand
painted resin figures on a wood snowflake background. They all
have a music button on the back that plays a Christmas medley
when you push it. They are $10 each. Their catalog number is 1-800-227-2190.
Their website is http://sfmusicbox.com/ .
-Some schools are running their fund raisers right now and they
have a bunch of LT items in the one here. A Bugs Bunny Bell,
Miniature Christmas Ornaments, Fan Pulls and more. We racked up $52
worth of stuff that we haven't seen any where else(made our
grandson real happy!).
-We added Lovables
Icons and Cursors to Boxcar 2.
-Added 14 new wallpapers. Some very nice ones and new holidays
ones including one for Thanksgiving(finally!). There is also a
latest additions page now that will show the last set that we put
up.
-Started work on a Help! system for the site. You can get to it
on any page and it should answer most of the questions users have.(I
could use some help from an AOL member with some of the questions
about their browsers) If you have any questions that you feel
should be answered in there please email them to me.
-You can access the sites' statistics directly now. In the help
system is a link to the monthly stats that we generate.
