The Eastern Edge

All the feedback is great.
No sarcasm or cynicism here, I mean that sincerely.
Thank you all!

What it all seems to boil down to, however, is a great big collective yawn with a couple Frank Miller insults tossed in for fun (some just can't resist, can they?).

I'm no plagiarism expert, but I wanted to see what people thought of what appears to be tracing of Frank Miller work. I'm a Frank Miller fan and it concerned me. But because it seems to have only happened once by an artist who otherwise draws all his own stuff with an honest Frank Miller influence, and the fact that it was 14 years ago are big strikes against this being something that anyone will lose sleep over.

I can live with that, I guess. I'm still left to wonder, though, what would have happened if those copied panels had been published 14 days ago instead of 14 years ago. Maybe the reaction would be the same "so what?" reaction it is now? But all the talk about how long ago it was makes me wonder if this is the same as forgiving someone who stole a pack of gum from the corner store when they were a kid, but never did it again and turned into a responsible adult. Maybe trying to make someone admit they stole that Bubblicious 14 years ago is pointless and it's time to just forgive and forget - assuming, of course, it hasn't happened since and there are no straight up lies about not having done it at all.
Maybe that's how I should be looking at this too? I'm not sure if I'm ready to think of it quite that way yet, but in the end this whole thing doesn't seem to matter very much to most people.

Yeah, I can live with that... I guess.
I wanted to put it out there and see what would happen. I did and I got lots of feedback, so it was worth it.

In the end my little gripe got shot in the balls!

Yeah, both of them.

But it was still worth it.

Case closed.
Thanks, everyone!
