Everyone has to play by Jim's rules.

If Jim is being threatened with lawsuits then you must comply with Jim's request to provide written permission from the artist.

Basically what you are doing in posting all the cartoons in one place, is robbing those other sites of the internet traffic the cartoons generate.

That affects what those sites charge to advertise.

Jim is not being mean and hard on you, it's the nature of internet business.

So you’re saying FR told you you couldn’t post the tunes here? Are you kidding me? So, what other sites will they be on because I’ll be there.

[AFreeBird]

Cool. Oh and I wanted to thank you for turning me on to "Day by Day" I love that strip!

Funny thing is: Pookie has actually turned me, and probably a lot of people, on to toon's we would have never seen otherwise. I go visit a few sites that either carry, an artist toon's, or the artist's site itself because of her.

Of course I understand Jim's position, but he ought to tell them it is, or can be, a form of free advertising for them.

Of course; Not that those lame brains in the MSM would listen or understand.

I’ll bet it has been a lot of work, but I’m gonna miss your threads.

[purpleraine]

That's the way the papers see it. I am looking at cartoons and cartoonists I never would see, because I don't go to those sites or read those papers.

It gives more exposure to the cartoonist and may draw people to their sites. This stance by them to protect their proprietary info will only ensure that this reader ignores them in the future.

[piroque]

POOKIE ,,,,,, Say it ain't so!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Gonna miss ya in the mornings

[SPOTTEDOWL]

Pookie, I too have enjoyed your postings and shared them with my network. Where will you be posting them in the future? If you can ping me in some way I would sure appreciate it. Jack (spottedowl)

[DenCos]

Thanks Pookie18 its been fun.

[pookie18]

It’s more complicated than that & doesn’t just involve this latest issue. I’ll be posting at Wide Awakes & GOPachy & someone has “offered” another site which I’m looking into...
