Nephew Of US Senator Accused Of Swiping Art

It's a pretty sadly familiar story at this point for a cartoonist with work on-line to have images crudely appropriated by someone else and have them re-purposed for a quick profit; in Ursula Vernon's case, this was slightly different in that the print-maker doing the appropriating 1) was offering certificates of authenticity, which is sort of begging for reprisal, and 2) the person behind it is the nephew of noted content censor Senator Joseph Lieberman. Webcomics-focused blogger supreme Gary Tyrrell has the funniest and most to-the-point write-ups on the case, including what you might be able to do to help: here with a follow-up here.
