Not sure Leader of the Pack is advisable to listen to while on a bike, it doesn't end well. A-ha, comic relief!

Or am I missing something...

Bloghorn would like to know what the situation is, or was regarding image rights. Did the modern artist purchase them? Was the image out of copyright? Or is it that the cartoonist (and descendents) don't know where his work is now appearing? What do you think is most likely?

I'll then get TV's Ant n Dec to photograph it using a specially constructed giant Box Brownie, print it in black and white the size of a postage stamp and nail it to a pig. It's called 'Sick Puppy wedges in the throat of the Universe IV'. Well, if the art's council grant comes through, anyway.
