Reason No. 5,477 Why I Love The Internet - IMPORTANT UPDATE
Mwahahaha....Die, Thumper! Die!
Yips! to Lemuel at Deleted By Tomorrow.
UPDATE: Big Llama Yips! to Ed at Monkey Watch for relaying the lowdown from ASV Michele about the original post I linked (and which I have since delinked). Turns out that the person who put it up simply scanned a bunch of cartoons from a couple of books by a guy named Andy Riley without, you know, bothering to credit him or anything. (The links above now go to those books at Amazon.)
Geez. Okay, rank plagiarism is something I don't love about the Internet. But the efforts of people like Ed and Michele to fight it are something I do love. (BTW, I'm leaving this post up as modified instead of yanking it altogether in order to encourage everyone to check these books out. As Michele notes, it would be a nice thing to help the original victim of this business by maybe buying one of his books. The cartoons are very funny.)

Posted by: Lemuel Kolkava at April 11, 2005 04:47 PMI love Bunny Suicides! I am glad I am not the only strange fellow who enjoys them.
Do you like the Star Wars one? They are suitably geeky.
