FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for July 18, 2017

Jason, Jason, Jason… you never learn.

You would think he’d learn his lesson after trying to draw “Circus” cartoons years ago. Yes, it actually happened.

I had a boss who named all our IT systems we developed after Dilbert characters. He sent a note to Scott Adams thinking he’d get a kick out of it. He got back one of those letters like Jason did.

Once a creator lets something like this pass without comment, then his art/images are no longer considered to be protected, and pretty much anyone can do whatever they like with them. It’s one of the reason why Disney plays hardball with pictures of Mickey, Donald, etc. on the walls at preschools. Sure, the school might not be doing anything too bad, but it sets a precedent that cannot go unchallenged.

I guess some Cartoonists don’t have much of a sense of humor!

I wonder if the send ‘cease and desist’ letters to people naming their pets after comic strip characters?

Did Foxtrot start daily strips again? My paper doesn’t have it.
