The Danger Mouse Icon Collection
January, 1997

Introduction: The enclosed folder contains 13 icons based on the British kids cartoon - "Danger Mouse". Danger Mouse was the premiere pint sized secret agent that protected Queen and country from the evil Silas Greenback. Danger Mouse was assisted by his trusty sidekick Penfold who always had a snappy one-liner to deliver (like any good sidekick would). If you remember watching Danger Mouse on rainy afternoons like I do, then you'll probably enjoy this set.

Legality: The enclosed icons represent a sample from the cartoon "Danger Mouse" copyright© 1982 Cosgrove Hall Productions and are not intended as copyright infringement. You may distribute this icon collection provided you keep the set intact, including this read me file and DO NOT charge or request fees or compensation of any kind. Also, you cannot publish anything about my icons without my permission. I would love to hear about any applications for the icons that you might be thinking about. Just write me and I'll be happy to give you permission to use them.

Thanks: I wanted to say thanks to a key person, my best friend Mindy who puts up with me making icons all the time, instead of paying attention to her like I oughta be! I would also like to say thanks to all my former co-workers at networkMCI. They are without doubt, the most talented and creative group of people I've ever worked with. I will miss them dearly.
