Steve the Pocket:
This strip just screamed "LiveJournal/forum avatar" to me, so I made one. And I had to register just to post it.
Tobimaro:
I really am getting worried about Hannelore's OCD. I know that she likes to count things. But an enemies list? :?
By the way, happy March 34! :laugh:

And where do you see Jeph mentioning it's from wikipedia? It's aprt of his work, and there's no indication it's not his phrasing, and hence he's passing it off as his own.
I just think it's pretty funny :)

I just assumed it was from Wikipedia, considering that Jeph is a Webcomic artist and not a mammalogist. The inclusion of accurate facts from a public source constitutes fair use. Jeph was making a Comic strip about a character who has an irrational fear of exotic mammals, not a research report about said mammal. If I were Jeph's tenth grade biology teacher and he handed in a research report with portions lifted from Wikipedia without attribution, I'd give him an F. However... He lifted two and a half sentences to include on a portion of a sign within a much larger drawing. I call that fair use. Accusing someone of plagiarism for fair use, even in jest, is not cool.
Anyway, rant over. Yay Hanners. Yay (possibly) Fangus. Yay Sven feeling like crap.
Yay March 34!
