I was wondering the same

I was wondering the same thing (about a possible lawsuit). In fact, I hesitated to post about the cartoon because I didn't want it take away from me! I think the case can be made (and you, John, and I are all making it) that this is a very different product. Of course, our modern copyright code does not look so kindly upon what Lawrence Lessig calls "Mickey Mouse creativity" as it once did.
