The donkey
An anthropomorphic donkey skipped the queue and reached the two kids. He was wearing an elegant smoking and a pair of big glasses that made him a serious and professional look. However he was always smiling or grinning and that ruined (or betrayed) his professional look.
"You…you…mu-mu-must be…be Gumball and Darwin Watterson the c-c-c-creators of… the c-c-c-c-omic book "The greatest adventures of Billy Bunny"" said the mysterious donkey. He took so much time to say that simple word.
"Yes…..we are!" answered Darwin.
"Who are you sir?" asked Gumball.
"Oh yes, w-where are my m-manners? My name is J-J-James, James Lâne! I'm a c-c-cc-cartoonist!"
Gumball thought if he was French judging from his surname.
"Are you French?" asked.
"I-I-I own a graphic studio named "Alpha studios"!" said James ignoring Gumball's question.
"Nice to meet you Mr. (or monsieur?) Lâne! What do you want from us?" said Darwin.
"I recently read your comic books and I found them a-a-a-aaaaamazing!"
"We are happy to see you enjoyed our comic book. Do you want an autograph?" asked the blue cat.
"No-no-no. I'm here for a deal. How many issues have you p-published?"
"Five!" answered Darwin.
"And how many copies have you s-sold?"
"Few!" said Gumball.
"Our comic book is famous only in this school, and Mr. Larry that publish our comic book and takes most of the profits!" explained the blue cat.
"I have a deal: how about if your comic book sells millions of copies?"
Gumball and Darwin were stupefied.
"And how about to gain 50% of the p-profits?"
"I think there must be a big flaw!" said Gumball skeptical.
"No flaws!"
"But how can you ensure us you can sell millions of copies of our comic books?" asked Darwin.
"Because I-I-I'm a genius! If you'll accept to hire me as your manager I'll ensure that!"
"What do you think Gumball?" said the goldfish.
"Oh, well if you ever accept my deal, please call this number!"
James gave his business card to Gumball.
"I'll wait your answer, and you'd better accept. You won't regret it!"
After that, James walked away from the two kids with a silly walk.
"Do you think that guy is really a genius?" asked Darwin.
"I don't know!" answered Gumball abashed.
