FineLine Properties.com Copyrights and Trademarks The Internet With Its Newest Cartoon Character Groups - ''The Internauts'' and ''eKids''
FAIRLAWN, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 1999--FineLine Properties Inc. (OTC BB:FNLND - news) Thursday announced its newest cartoon creations which are drawn from the world of the Internet.
These new characters groups, which consist of 24 never seen before cartoons, can be seen on FineLine's Web site at www.finelineproperties.com, under eFineLine.
Developed as a result of a 50/50 collaboration between Eric Bauchman, an investment banking consultant out of Mission Viejo, Calif., and FineLine Properties.com Inc., The Internauts(TM) and eKids(TM) bring to life the cyber world which has taken on a life of its own.
''The Internet is an environment,'' stated Bauchman, ''and it serves as the setting for this essentially parallel universe in which good guys and bad guys play out scenarios which are not too far removed from the reality of this medium.''
In this world, the eHeroes(TM) (Hyperlink(TM), HardDrive(TM), Matrix(TM), MainFrame(TM), FireWall(TM) and TeraByte(TM)), do battle with the eV.I.L.(TM) (electronic Viral Infiltration Legion) with such mutant henchman as Virus(TM), Crash(TM), Bug(TM), Surge(TM), Hack(TM), and Freeze(TM), who are part technology and part biology.
''These are more than just cartoon characters,'' injected FineLine president, Robert Petry, ''these are real world situations in cartoon form, from which all manner of computer and software scenarios can be given a visual perspective in software games, animation, and other mediums.''
The company will actively seek software gaming, animation, publishing and sponsorship partners to bring these contemporary cartoon character groups into the living rooms and lives of all age groups via licensing and merchandising agreements and promotional venues.
''The possibilities are almost endless,'' stated Bauchman, ''as situations can be drawn from fantasy scenarios occurring in a computer, or while surfing the Internet.''
On a younger audience note, FineLine also introduced the eKids(TM), an international collection of cute Internet cartoon characters with names such as E-Mail(TM), Java(TM), Home Page(TM), Dot Com(TM), MegaByte(TM) and more.
''We envision these cartoons as not only entertainment,'' commented Petry, ''we also see them as teaching and learning aids for the younger generation to see and understand what these computer, software and Internet terms mean and do.
''Reflecting features of children drawn from Europe, Asia, Africa and other global locales, along with a few pet and interesting looking friends, the eKids(TM) are as boundless and international as the Internet in terms of their scope.''
FineLine is an entertainment-based company that develops and acquires cartoon characters. The company has had some of its cartoons in major along with appearances on over 450 licensed products in over 20 countries.
