Hardman tweeted:

Things devolved from there, according to Hardman.

Yikes! And it seems the incident may have been the straw that broke the camel's back when it comes to commissions.

Hey Rich! Don't be trying to shoehorn yourself into our article! Get out of here!

Hardman's peers expressed solidarity.

So thanks a lot, counterfeit Gabriel Hardman print lady. You ruined it for everyone. Well, with one exception:

Folks, a friendly reminder: buy your art directly from comic creators whenever possible, to make sure they're being fairly compensated for their work.
