Funny comic over at Bizarro by Dan Piraro. (Hat tip to Funny Daddy for sharing!)
Unfortunately, they require you to buy the image just to display it on a website or blog. They missed the memo that teaches about broader distribution and linking back to original sources and so forth.
I wonder how many people would actually pay a minimum of $125 for a 1-frame comic strip to display in 1 post on 1 blog. Seriously? I wouldn't.
And other than King Features Syndicate, most other comic distribution channels ENCOURAGE others to embed strips in their own sites, to BUILD exposure. And let's be real here. 90% of what's reported by ANY source, including all of your major media sources, is a reference back to something put out by somebody else. Without paying that somebody else. But bringing them a bunch of exposure.
< / rant>.
But, because it was a funny strip, I'll link to it and you can go laugh. And after you get done checking out their licensing pricing, make sure to laugh at the comic as well!
