Like Vanilla Ice to Bowie/Mercury, or The Verve to The Rolling Stones, so it is that I find some designer somewhere lifting my riff. I'm tempted to send in the army of lawyers I have on retainer for just such an occasion, being that people are constantly lifting my artistic stylings. Right? After all, with the dozens upon dozens of readers this blog gets every week, one must expect this sort of thing!So one of my minions slithered up and wrote to inform me of the latest. Thinking that I might show up at San Diego Comic-Con, Warner Bros. avoided showing new teaser posters for its upcoming film The Green Lantern there. But they did release them to CHUD.
You see, my first year at Comic-Con, back in '03, I took with me a little painting called "Eclosion," which was painted in 2002, and had it on display there. Doubtless, some aspiring ad agency designer was walking the floor, and probably snapped a photo of it when I wasn't looking, probably on his hi-tech 2-megapixel camera. Maybe even *3* megapixels! Evidently thinking enough time had passed, this person decided to reference it when designing these posters.
You be the jury, as I excerpt the relevant portion:
I'm just not sure what exactly I should seek--should I ask for a cut of box office gross? Perhaps it'd be enough to force them to remove that lame eyebrow? I don't know, but someone must pay!!
