Well, it isn't too often that a Pez dispenser is given such a high profile in a comic strip, so the company certainly doesn't mind the attention. The problem is that Sequential Art is very obscure, so most customers won't recognize the figure. We'd have to include some pictures of the thread on the collector's box, or just hope that customers are content with a cat-like head without knowing the background. Their 2010 dispensers are of things like the Geico gecko and a Food Lion lorry, so I suspect that companies are actually paying Pez to create dispensers these days, rather than Pez paying companies for use of their character.

Another problem is that Kat is dressed as Laura Kroft, so the copyright lawyers will want to mull over the matter. Still, it wouldn't hurt to ask the company about it. No doubt Jolly Jack wants some of that tasty licensing income someday. Maybe he'll send Pez an e-mail just to see what comes of it.

Quoth BenRG:
Could sugar be their secret weakness?

Maybe they're Vampire Pirate Ninja Zombies from Outer Space?

El Pollo Diablo, probably.

Actually, in D&D, nearly every undead can function perfectly well without a head. Well, it might bite you a bit less.

It ain't no cameo, only an act of cosplay for the sake of satire and/or parody. I love fair use. A pez dispenser probably wouldn't include Kat's dressup though, mind you.
