The more exposure the better. But he does sound a bit full of himself in his comments.

I also believe in fair use. If you weren’t providing editorial commentary, it would be different though.

Oh noes! Does he even have your number? What a self-important ass. I would pay money to see you two sit down and have lunch together. A meeting of the minds, so to speak. I don’t know anything about the guy, but I imagine him to be a fat, uncrazzimatic, boring asshole.

I assume it’s just about the repeated commentary on his work. Search for Koterba on this site and you’ll find at least a half-dozen hits, the most recent of which was probably the one about his Memorial Day cartoon. I think it qualifies under fair use, but I’m still going to wait before restoring the images themselves until I get a solid legal opinion on my side. The World Herald is pretty fierce about this kind of thing; they’ve made message boards take down user-posted quotes from stories. So for now it’s just links and descriptions where there once were pictures (writing the descriptions is kind of fun, to be honest).

But for anyone who posts my cartoons who may be concerned, I’m not going to follow a similar tactic, even if you post the cartoons to rip on them. Please go right ahead and continue to do what the cartoons were meant for you to do.

If you want to keep up the pressure (or “obsession,” as the case may be), I’d recommend doing an “Obermeyer’s View” of Koterba’s work. Mockery is the sincest form of flattery….and the dude deserves to be flattered a great deal. Besides, let’s see the guy get around the Fair Use doctrine.

Of course, I wouldn’t want this project to get in the way of your own cartooning. Maybe you could just include a cute little squirrel-guy in the corner of all your work as some sort of homage.

What’s up with that anyway? Is Koterba a big “Caddyshack” fan or what?
