Mimi and Eunice

Careful II

…and this is what inevitably happens when you regularly pay people not to punch you.

This is about how over-budgeted media productions historically paid to license things they didn’t need to license, just because they had tons of money and their lawyers preferred to “play it safe” than claim Fair Use, which is how Fair Use became the weak pathetic limping layer of pointlessness it is today.

Expectations

Re-Run Week Day 5: Amnesia

One of the first Mimi & Eunice comics ever, and just as true today as it…what was I talking about?

Re-Run Week Day 4: Viral Patent

To commemorate the cold that kept me in Urbana a few extra days (I just got back to New York):

Rerun Week Day 3: Cosplay

Hanging out in Urbana, I asked my brother (also here to visit my ailing father) “what theme should tomorrow’s Mimi & Eunice rerun comic be on?” He answered, “The World Series.” Since I have no comics on that theme, I asked for his second choice. “Fashion.” Excellent! Today’s re-run is dedicated to Joshua Paley.

Re-Run Week Day 2: Journey

Still in Urbana, the starting point of my journey of a thousand miles.

Mimi & Eunice Re-Run Week

I’m currently in Urbana, IL, visiting my parents because my Dad is in the hospital (late stage cancer). I expected to be back in New York last week, but extended my stay here because it was so very exciting. My comics, and my means to draw them, are on my home computer, which means I have no new comics to post this week. That means RERUNS! In keeping with the Dad-dying-of-cancer theme, today’s rerun is about death:

And in the super-meta-classic re-run department, here’s an ancient “Nina’s Adventures” comic about Urbana IL vs. Santa Cruz CA, where I moved in 1988. Look at that date!

Thanks Internet, for having a scan of this online when I didn’t have it on my hard drive.
