Bio: Cosmo Cricket is the creation of married designers Eric and Julie Comstock.You might have heard of Comstock before. Eric and Julie are the original creators of the Comstock Collection. When they decided to go on their own, they needed a new name. They thought they could simply rearrange the letters of Comstock Collection into something new. They typed it into a web site that scrambles up words (anagrams), and heres the best of what they got:

Concocts Tickle Loom
Click Cocoons Mottle
Tectonic Clock Looms

These werent exactly what they had in mind. They just weren’t scrapbooky enough for them. Really, Tectonic Clock Looms sounds like some disaster waiting to happen. Not willing to give up, they both tried again. Julie went first using her name:

Occultism Joke
Cuckoo Lets Jim
Cute Jocks Limo

Obviously Occultism Joke wouldnt work. But, Julie thought that with the right marketing campaign, maybe Cute Jocks Limo could be catchy. Eric was concerned that Limo on the end didnt make sense, but when Julie suggested dropping Limo and just using Cute Jock, the truth came out--Eric wasn’t comfortable with the word “Jock.�

Then Eric entered his name and Cosmo Cricket was born. Now you might wonder how Julie feels having their company name as an anagram of only Eric’s name. She would tell you, It sure beats Occultism Joke! Go to www.wordsmith.org to type in your own words. Who knows what nonsense will result.
