Okay. Now, about today's cartoon... 😂 That sippy cup sums up Donnie Douchebag's life perfectly. Bravo!

Here's what I propose to them to make this right: TAKE DOWN THE CARTOONS USING THE PLAGIARIZED CONTENT.

Assholes. Go get 'em!

Take down the channels! Let the robots cheat at video games and run up in-game charges of billions, so the AI owner crashes and burns. Feed your OWN ideas into the little tin monsters, and don’t put them where we can see them.

I'm tempted to train an AI instance and prove they don't copy paste every item with slight differences UNLESS they are TOLD to.

I look at this as absolutely NOT incidental plagiarism, this is entirely deliberate. Sure, I could train an AI solely on Clay's work, but you still would not get the duplicate text. That would be a chance in a billion.

And that's why they need to sue, because people who do this deliberately are not going to stop just because you tell them you know they're stealing. They already know that, and decided they could hide their money well enough that you can't get to it after they draw the court out for a few years.

Our court system needs reform, yesterday.

I am also sorry you could not get a cartoon without the orange one.

Keep up the copyright fight - It never ceases to amaze the "logic" used when stealing from people but then the ruler of the USA and his regime are an example front and center very day! :(

Using the content as context, I'm guessing it's Shoeless Joe Jackson on the ear diaper!

I was initially kind of happy about the decision to finally admit Rose and Jackson into the HOF... until I read about Trump's involvement. This guy taints everything he touches. Also, I hadn't heard of the statutory rape claims.

Good luck, to you and all creative artists, with the AI thing. Theft by another name is still theft.

Tin Eye says the bandage is Ty Cobb. He looks creepy there.

I’m with your proofreaders: I have no idea whose likeness is on the ear diaper. Photo has lost its copyright protection, right?

I use them in a manner that fair use applies.

I thought the ear bandage looked like a young Putin. Since I don't know hardly any baseball players I am clueless. My sister used to have seats for the Diamondbacks. One year when I was visiting my 16 year-old nephew took me to a game. I was the "cool" aunt back then. The team was playing against the Blue Jays. That was who I was rooting for (very quietly, lol). Toronto won. Yeah! I am so bad at sports that in elementary school they tried rolling the ball the ball to me and I still missed it! I did get a lay-up in 7th grade playing basketball. It was a complete accident that was never repeated. I had a medical waiver from 6th grade on. The lay-up happened after school. No running was involved, so I was fine. I just royally suck at ANY sport.

Okay fellow readers and baseball fans, who is that on the ear bandage? I am not a sports watcher so am at a loss.

I thought the ear bandage was Shoeless Joe Jackson. But from comments above I can see I was wrong.
