Are you aware that your avatar is an unauthorized reproduction of intellectual property belonging to Bill Watterson, the cartoonist who owns the copyright to all Calvin & Hobbes related materials?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_hobbesThey have pictures on this wikipedia link. I wonder if those are a violation. Copyright law is so screwed up in the USofA. nostalgia.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_HobbesThis explains why you see those Pi$$ing Calvin decals on the back of those good-'ol-boys pickup trucks: Bill Watterson is notable for his insistence that cartoon strips should stand on their own as an art form, and he has resisted the use of 'Calvin and Hobbes' in merchandising of any sort. The occasional t-shirts with pictures of Calvin and (usually obnoxious) captions are unauthorized. The occasional stickers for automobile rear windows that depict Calvin urinating on a company's or sports team's name or logo are especially unauthorized; after threat of a lawsuit, the maker (Custom Vehicle Graphics) replaced Calvin with a different boy.Whatever
