ComicLab Ep 243 — “I made a plagiarism — but I LIKE it! …Do I HAVE to change it?”

Cartoonists Brad Guigar and Dave Kellett give advice to a comics artist who realizes that they’d accidentally plagiarized a character from someone else… but they like their character so much they just don’t want to change it! Is there a plagiarism loophole? But FIRST… there’s a lot of news and updates to cover!

ON THIS WEEK’S SHOW…

  • Oni Press lays off senior staff, faces allegations of unpaid labor
  • TokyoPop is back — but they have a long (and contentious) history with creators.
  • Substack: “Day 366” has come for many comics creators who took the Substack grant.
  • Tapas lays off 30% of staff
  • Shopify lays off 10% of staff
  • DinoKIckstarter.com — and tracking URLs
  • Charles Schulz Museum — Brad and Dave will be doing a special LIVE show at the Schulz Museum on Nov. 12 to celebrate what would have been the legendary cartoonist’s 100th birthday.
  • “I made a plagiarism — but I LIKE it! …Do I HAVE to change it?”

Brad Guigar is the creator of Evil Inc and the author of The Webcomics Handbook. Dave Kellett is the creator of Sheldon and Drive.
