Anti-Heroes

[Green-Shirt Q]

Anyway, why does it have papers?

It's probably the script.

Excellent comic! Can't wait for the next one!

[Wolf53226]

Maybe it's not a mindflayer, maybe it's a Cthuluoid. Anyway, why does it have papers?

Because it is a lawyer coming to sue us for talking about Cthulu

[Dallas-Dakota]

Baby cthulu....

[kpenguin]

Seriously, are they doing that? I don't see how they could and would do that.

They can't.

[OverWilliam]

^ Can't? Or can?

[Querzis]

^ Can't? Or can?

Legally, I'm pretty damn sure you can only sue someone for copyright just if hes actually earning money with one of your original character or race or whatever so they really cant sue a free webcomic.

[Zarah]

Holy crap, that comic took forever to make.

Issue 48: It's Called The "Hilton Diet"

Spoiler

Show

And I highly doubt I'll get sued for something as trivial as this. At least... I like to hope I won't...

[Rayzin]

Nice comic!!! I take care of eating the brains around here

[Szilard]

Bum Bum BUUMMMMMM!!!!!

[memnarch]

Saaaay.... where's Lana if they're outdoors?

[Lionpawheart]

creeeeppyyy...
Oooooo, whats going to happen next???
Awsome comic, nice job on that one!

[Querzis]

Saaaay.... where's Lana if they're outdoors?

Look at the ninth panel. Its the night now (well that or there is a strom coming.) Anyway, mind flayer sure dont like to waste food. He cant eat brains right now so he bring them to a hungry friend. Thats sweet...or creepy, I'm not sure.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Great new comic!

Carry on, you brain-eating goat of excellence!

[Icewalker]

Heh. No brains diet.

I look forward to seeing more combat handled.

[gragger]

Awsome, lets see those brains!

[Bayar]

are the 2 mind flayers in a relationship? are they both male ? stay tuned for more !

[Meeed]

A relationship? You mean, like platonic love?

[Mordokai]

Hehe, another great comic Keep it up Zarah!

[Lonna]

I love it . Now what happens to a vampire that has its brains eaten? Do the undead technically need them?

[Dallas-Dakota]

Heheh, I do the brain-eating around here

[Darkantra]

Well, if he's as epic as we've been led to believe then there's no reason why he wouldn't know the Harpell spell that switches the brain with the rectum. Best way to defeat mindflayers. EVER.

[banjo1985]

Excellent I'm gone for a day and there's two new comics! I almost danced with Joy...but she's not around at the moment.

I hope the squid thingy/ mind flayer/ cthulhu guy doesn't try and suck Kaal's brain, he'll have trouble finding it.

[Krelon]

it is most definitely night outdoors (panels are greyish)
and I don't think you can feed on an undead brain successfully

again great comic

[Meeed]

I hope the squid thingy/ mind flayer/ cthulhu guy doesn't try and suck Kaal's brain, he'll have trouble finding it.

Not to mention he physically doesn't have one

[banjo1985]

Not to mention he physically doesn't have one

Maybe it's an illithid with ghost-touch

You damn well can sue even if someone's not making money off it. Not making money reduces the damages they can get, since they can no longer demand the money you made plus additional damages plus court costs but have to settle for the last two. But they can still sue free webcomics.

What you can't sue for is use in a parody. Which this is.

I was just about to say that. No way you can be sued, at least they aren't going to risk it. It's called the Fair Use Doctrine. For one, it's satire; courts sometimes decide that doesn't qualify for fair use, but in this case the line between satire and parody (parody is always allowed) barely exists. They're not going to sue on the off chance that they're going to get a judge who's just a spiteful bastard all the time.

Also, more to the point of the Doctrine, you're not trying to supersede the object for personal gain.

Short answer: they can sue you, but they'll be at a huge dissadvantage. I mean Shire vs. Mordor level of dissadvantage.

In any case, there would be little point in a lawsuit from Wizards. Unless Zarah is fabulously wealthy, they would probably lose more in legal expenses than they could gain, even if they won.

I suppose Wizards could go to court for the sake of "protecting their brand," but again, I think the animosity they would generate in the gaming community would outweigh any "benefits" they could foresee. I sure as hell wouldn't forgive Wizards for going after some guy for making a frickin' webcomic, especially a decent one like Anti-Heroes, and hopefully a lot of other people would be rankled as well.

So let's all make a pledge that if Wizards ever shuts down Anti-Heroes, we sent their office a deluge of letter bombs, OK?

P.S. If you are fabulously wealthy, Zarah, give me some money.

[Lyinginbedmon]

So let's all make a pledge that if Wizards ever shuts down Anti-Heroes, we sent their office a deluge of letter bombs, OK?

Letter bombs are ineffective given that Wizards is America-based, which is pretty darn cracked down for terrorist possibilities.

No, if we wanted to take Wizards to any capacity we'd need to get to the building personally or virtually.

Should the lovely Zarah be able to pay for my plane ticket (Still the safest way to travel), I'd be happy to render certain "services" to the task or tasks at hand.

Now, before I risk men with black sunglasses knocking at my UK door, on with the comicry!

[FoE]

That's it: we'll storm the building! Those designers and game-testers are all Commoners anyways, although we might have to face off with some bards amongst the arts staff. I'll bring my +1 mace!

.... In other news today, the gaming company known as Wizards of the Coast were stormed by a small mob of approximately 20 to 30 males today. Approximately a dozen employees of Wizards, which holds the rights to the popular role-playing game known as "Dungeons and Dragons", were gruesomely killed. Eyewitnesses report that the severed heads of the victims were placed on the end of pikes, and that the attackers kept chanting "Save the Goat! Save the Goat!" as they set fire to the building ...
