I’m pretty sure they’re not within their rights to violate contracts and not pay people for their work though.

I’m sorry to hear about your misfortune. Something about drunk duck lead me not to trust em…I figured I might as well just create my own website if i’m going to create my own web comic.

Thanks for proving my intuitions right, and I hope this turns out badly for them….taking an artists comic like that is dick.

They may be within their rights, but that doesn’t make it *right*.

But it is a good way for a publisher to alienate any other potential creators. Aside from the fact that they failed to pay him, something for which there is no excuse (if you don’t have the money, don’t get someone to do the work), getting all whiney and witholding his rights – which they are unable to use – just seems like a childish and spiteful act.

Just not cool.
