Wet blanket time!

You did get permission from the copyright holders to reproduce their work in this forum, Ding, didn't you?

What! You didn't!

Sorry DD,

I have to be the wet blanket. Copyright laws do allow us 'fair usage,' but wholesale reproduction of entire strips without any formal credit busts that concept right open on two counts.

Believe it or not there is a new breed of ambulance chasers who try to get a percentage by dobbing us in.

Why didn't I think of that when deciding upon a nick (callsign? ) for PPRuNe?! I'm a big fan of The Swamp(*)!

Cheers,

*) Both the cartoon and the M*A*S*H version which, albeit a bit more classy, closely resembles some of the places I lived in during my student years

Oh dear, I must apologise to you as I thought that it was your real name as I thought that I knew your brother Richard who was an animal lover who had a large sheep station out beyond the black stump. He was known as Dung Dickey or more simply as Baa Baa.

i would like to be able to put the images of ding duck back.
what do i have to do to do this. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
i noticed that in the pprune humour section there is cartoon from the far side. in my surfing around the net i saw that gary larson has written a letter saying that he does not want his work to be reproduced online.
i know of course that you must have got his permission and i was wondering how you managed to convince him to let you use his work?
thanks for your help in this matter.
cheers! <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

You would think that they would at least acknowledge Mr Larson <a href="http://www.pprune.org/go.php?go=/pub/fun/cfit.htm" target="_blank">here</a>. But I suppose that's all part of having the permission!
