Small world on the internet - and at least this is one of the rare instances when a cartoon goes viral on Facebook that the creator's name wasn't whited-out.<br />Anyways now we'll both get sued by Grateful Dead Enterprises and the estate of Jerry Garcia for copyright infringement.jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929486289400863627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744431297917220971.post-38314399361351967032012-05-04T05:03:31.174-08:002012-05-04T05:03:31.174-08:00The above "dead" cartoon first appeared ...The above "dead" cartoon first appeared in my 1990 book, "The Secret Life of Dogs."David Sipressnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744431297917220971.post-17601201573157958442012-05-03T12:47:30.396-08:002012-05-03T12:47:30.396-08:00Gord: ha - that is some mighty fine sleuthing and ...Gord: ha - that is some mighty fine sleuthing and makes complete sense.
