Coming in May: Wendy’s kids meals will feature WordGirl toys. Collect all five! Go here and then click on “Coming Soon” to check out the awesomeness. I’m looking forward to the card game. And the magnetic spinner. (It’s magic!) No action figure of Scoops or Mr. Botsford, but my dream of being immortalized in plastic lives on.
In other awesome WordGirl news, Scholastic has hired Briarpatch to develop a series of WordGirl board games and card games, due out in 2010. I AM NOW OFFICIALLY JEALOUS. Writing cartoons is a complate blast, but how much fun would it be to design board games?! Seriously. I want that job. How do I get that job?
