Who the Dickens are You?

What's all this about "The Monkey Paw Publishing Company"?.

Well, the crew of the Time Travelling Tea Tent generate a lot of ideas.  The Monkeys employed by "Tracery Illustration" decided that their efforts should not go unnoticed and decided to band together and start publishing their work.  The result was the formation of the Grand and Noble "Monkey Paw Publishing Company".  Please note 1) the Paw no longer belongs to a monkey so it is a singular 'monkey paw' and 2) the monkeys do the work and the Urchins do all the deliveries.
