I am querying you because everyone else has already rejected this ms but I'm pretty sure you will "get it".
So what if it isn't "marketable" or "original" (I keep thinking of Chris Farley's air quote skit on SNL years ago)? Let's sell this puppy so I can get a kick-butt pontoon boat for vacay.
These questions could be answered in half-hour segments every week. If we pair the octopus with a hapless but lovable pelican, I think I smell a winning sitcom. -either that, or napalm. (sniff sniff) Yeah, napalm.

Can you describe?

You mean no one today has said: "You'll hate my book, but I just had to query you"?

-Partly because I am an octopus selling cigars, are your aquatic cigar needs being met? We have brochures.
Colin,
How does an octopus keep (or get) a cigar lit underwater? Does it have special, magical, paranormal fire? Or is it a land octopus?
I, for one, would like a brochure. :)
