So Craig McCracken, Van Partible, and Genndy Tartakovsky don't own the Power
Puff Girls, Johnny Bravo, and Dexter's Laboratory, respectively? That
stinks.   

Is it possible that then unknown creators like them could have gotten a
decent contract for new cartoons that turned into big hits or is it pretty
much a given that they were reduced to little more than hired help at a
fixed price regardless of ratings, comic book deals, movies, merchandising,
etc?  -Gary G.
