Or somebody could just, ya'know, link it.

And yes, good luck with the old copyright thingmibob! I'd be interested in any copyright cases that involve more than one country myself... Wonder how those are supposed to go.

*Raises hand*

I've had a burning question to. My comic's title is "Zombie High", which is also the name of a movie from the 1980s. Given that my comic and that film have much different plots, ie. my comic is NOT a horror comic, can they sue me?

I don't think so. As long as the source is different, thay can't argue a brand overlap (Case in point: In the 80s, the Beatles' Apple Records label were suspicious of a new company called Apple Computers. Apple Computers promised the Beatles that they wouldn't enter the music business, and so the Beatles let it slide. It worked out fine until Apple iTunes started, and now the Beatles are suing mad again.)

Speaking of sprites and copyright stuff, I'm sure a little bit of searching at 8-bit Theatre will yield Brian's explination of how he can use the sprites that he does.

(I say searching because I'm too lazy to do it myself right now.)

Liefeld is like a neverending fountain of terrible hilarity. I love that hidiously-proportioned Cap with his swing-open chest. Awesome.

I notice his parrot is a left-winger.

And who better to stave off piracy... than a pirate?

He's meant to be looking like he's keeping his balance but I couldn't be bothered drawing both wings like that. Hey, it was a rush job and Doctor Who* was on, okay?

I'm sure you're just joking, Joel. We all know how smart you are, and that you're really making some kind of political statement regarding the leftist freedom-of-information extremists...

...right?

Woah! That rocks.

And since I'm using my 6000th post to say it, it must rock real hard.

Yes.

Back on subject, a thread "Who is spot gonna steal next" was not mentioned; There was a bit of fuss about Striker giving away some insider informations, somewhere in the middle of the thread. Also, down at the main page of the forum there is a forum for locked threads that raised hell. Something useful could possibly be found down there.

Thanks for the info, I'm going to be doing research all semester, so if anyone comes up with anything else, please post it here or email it to me.

Thanks again.

I just realised one thing: Fighting american probably can't have sex. With chest like that, he can't possibly get close enough to the girl.

I don't know about you, but I can think of several positions that would still allow the required parts to come into contact...
