I'm presuming they don't deal with copyright law.

In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences or works of the lightbox. We trust you, the reader, to make that judgment yourself? If you are unable to do so, please return your eyes to their maker before any further damage is done. The Swipe File doesn?t judge, it?s interested more in the process of creation, how work influences other work, how new work comes from old, and sometimes how the same ideas emerge simultaneously, as if their time has just come. The Swipe File was named after the advertising industry habit where writers and artist?*collect images and lines they admire to inspire them in their work. It was swiped from the Comic Journal who originally ran this column, as well as the now defunct Swipe Of The Week website.

I wish it was from a later issue and Rick was missing a hand. No explanation just a maimed man talking about tax issues.

I hope Kirkman can afford a lawyer!

Accountants, not lawyers. Like lampreys and sharks: both blood-hungry aquatic vertebrates, but different species.

And none of them can do comic book lettering worth a damn.

Whatever. It's clearly just a coincidence.

Sigh, small business, someone likes something and goes with it (prolly reads/loves the comic) and now probally sued out of business....nice guys...

Whatever. It's clearly just a coincidence.

Of course. One is about soulless creatures consuming the minds of ordinary folk.

And the other is a comic book.

Hey! Someone new for Tony Moore to sue!
