Google couldn't even think of an original name.

Please don't support anyone selling Calvin and Hobbes merchandise, it's 100% stolen. My boy Bill Watterson has never endorsed or agreed to any form of merchandising of his comic strips, outside of regular printed books. He didn't feel the need to whore his creation out. #calvinandhobbes #billwatterson #theftofintellectualproperty #creatorsrights #iknowsupermanisstolen

I know many of you will shake your head in either confusion OR bitter understanding but let me be clear: don't repost my photos without asking & receiving permission. That's super shitty, especially when it's a for-profit business taking my images for commercial use. Reposting on Instagram to promote your business is commercial use. I love to support businesses I frequent by posting photos taken of their products or physical space--but that does not give you permission to use my photos to promote your business. Ask me first and it's likely we can make an arrangement. Use my images without permission and I'll report your account. (Props to my artist & illustrator pals who deal with this every. damned. day.) #theftofintellectualproperty #intellectualpropertytheft #allrightsreserved #hacklesUP
