AI creeps are counting on internet anonymity, and the apocalyptic state of the political cartoon biz, to shield them from punishment. They need to be identified and sued. Problem is, most cartoonists are freelancers now. They no longer have a newspaper's legal team to crush such thieves.

Boring Omar's Boring Update:

Old gentleman stopped and asked me what time it was. I said, "7:50."

"PM?"

"Yes."

"Would you believe I thought it was AM?"

"Yes, I would."

"Son of a b1+ch. Thank you."

"No problem."

He walks away.

Apropos of nothing: it's really weird to me that Ian Fleming also wrote *Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang*.
