That is ridiculous! I'm constantly amazed by the laziness of some people and their inability to think that maybe asking permission is the first thing you do.

Is this like a historical analysis of Garfield parodies or are we just copy-pasting JPGs off the internet into a book and calling it a day?

Is there a publisher you can notify?

Everything else is old, John. That means it's fair game. Didn't you know?

"I didn't think" sums it up

That’s how how copyright works at all.

But I tagged you

I was pretty curt with my reply (which I translated to Spanish):

One of the reasons I've never put out a Gramfel collection is I'm not confident if it'd be okay to try making money from it, obvious parody or not.

So, this isn't about money. If I'd been asked, and promised --say-- a comp copy of the book, I may have said yes!

However, that horse has bolted.

Not naming and shaming (yet) while I see if I can clear this up.

However, if I wasn't asked for permission, then it seems pretty certain that nobody else whose work shows up was asked either.

So, if you've done a Garfield parody that went any way viral, there's a fair chance it shows up in this.

Orcs in Orsk having a bad day!

More clear proof that the long journey, starting pre-dawn in Ukraine, was well worth it for Dr One, who handed out more medicine to cure the Moscow regime of its sick war-crimes and terrorism.

More breaking news.

A kid in Orenburg region has filmed smoke rising in the city of Orsk, quite possibly the very large oil refinery here, while there is an oil depot nearby.

This is very close to the Kazakhstan border.
