You ask me, I say these Winters boys just want the publicity. They want to make sure people know, without issue, that it's them in the comic, and they're outraged, blah blah blah. Has beens clutching at straws.

That makes sense. I'd been thinking "But...how many people would have known who these Winters brothers were if it hadn't been for this court case? That's them shooting themselves in the foot, surely."
"Yes your honour, those are analogues of us shagging the pigs in that there comic book."

Simpsons seem to get just about everything in parody. You'd think Marvel would sue for the laughable Stan Lee in the "Homer as Hulk" episode. And so forth. What DC needs is Groening's Lawyers.
Nice sig Johnny boy.

Can't say I ever recall hearing it. But then, I'm not exactly the music authority.

Except Hollywood has thrown the full brunt force of its power behind DC on this one, fearing that the ruling would spread from one form of expression to others.

Let me clarify: Ah propose we put together a thread hyar in Kapow chronicling some of the legal battles the comic industry has had within it and attacking it, and once it's got enough to be considered informative, we collectively divvy it up and post it in CD.

No, the CBLDF would have won that. Whatever the angry mothers think, they would have won that one, and it would have been a huge deal. And that's only assuming a lawsuit would have happened in the first place, which I highly, highly doubt.

Question for Jonah: would the thread just be about people in the creative end of the spectrum, or could it include things like the comics store owner who was prosecuted for selling hentai to an undercover police officer?
