Nickelodeon (the cable channel for kids) is showing a cartoon action/adventure
show called DangerMouse at 4:30 and 7:30 (EDT).  It features
	"the world's greatest secret agent, DangerMouse, with
	 the world's worst assistant, Penfeld."

In your typical Flynt, James Bond, or Maxwell Smart style, each day he
takes two 15 minute episodes to foil the plans of that nefarious frog,
Baron Greenback, using a liberal dose of bad puns and tongue-in-cheek jabs
at English manners, or movie stereotypes.

My question is:  are there any merchandising tie-ins?  The show comes
from England, but I haven't seen anything in stores here.  It seems a natural
for DangerMouse tee-shirts, toy cars, dolls, comic books, etc. etc ad naseaum.
(My wife wants a DangerMouse, and I would wear a tee-shirt, too)
