Yet Another Plagiarized Cartoon Design Gary Tyrrell directs his readers to this now widely-linked and disseminated story originally from Lasagna Children about what they feel is another obviously plagiarized cartoon design, this time by Hot Topic or one of their suppliers on a t-shirt from a previously existing t-shirt design by Jess Fink. It's hard to argue with them. Hopefully, the copyrights are all in place for this to be a quick lawsuit and/or settlement and people will eventually stop doing this because it costs more money to steal than it does to come up with original designs. The fact that the original design is ten times funnier shouldn't be lost on anyone, either.
