Yeah, it's based on "Tout à l’heure" from the French language. It got shortened to Toodaloo (Buggs Bunny might be to thank for that), and then Toodles.
I once placed a novel and had a lot of fun withdrawing it from submission. I had two editors reach out to me saying they had strongly considered the manuscript. No matter how pretentious a person is, the basic psychology of "you can't have this" remains very powerful.
"Toodles" makes me think of Mickey Mouse, since he sometimes uses that as a sign-off.

Ha! Love the "Oops! That's been sold!!" idea. Very good, Walter.
