Ben Wicks Cartoons Back to Family



An enormous number of original cartoons from the late, popular cartoonist left behind by Ben Wicks' family during a move have been ordered to be returned to the family, according to yesterday's decision. The cartoons had been in the possession of a fan, Richard Harnett, who contacted the family about a publishing venture because of their ownership of the copyright.

The case threw a spotlight on issue of left-behind property and instigated some discussion among cartoonists about how best to secure the care of one's work once they pass on. It also through Eddie Campbell brought into public discourse a greater appreciation of the garbage bag as an art storage tool.
