	Eek! That would be horrible. I've always loved Belle & Sebastian's
name. But, this couldn't be 100% true, as the cartoon borrowed its name
& plotline (I think) from an old french serial. I guess the creator of
the serial could be angry. Oh well.
	If they did change their name, I would think they should make a sly
little change, enough that you can tell it's the same band. Like
perhaps, La Belle Sebastian, or just Belle Sebastian. Some little play
on words like that.
