With Shag, it was a matter of supply and demand. It is not a crime to merchandise. I will say it might be getting a little thin, I saw Shag soap the other day. Basically just soap with Shag's art on the box. I never got the feeling that Shag was just going for the bucks. I think it is more that a overwhelming number of people want his work, the only way to meet this demand is massive merchandising. If presented with the same opportunity, would you say no?
