Garfield Minus Garfield . . . Minus Jon!

Well, friends. This blogging thing has been a fun experience. But it must now come to an untimely end.

On Monday, the oddest thing happened. I received an e-mail from one of the guys who runs the "Garfield Minus Garfield" Web site - the same one I have, in the past, borrowed cartoons from and posted here.

Unfortunately, borrowed was not the term that this man used. He called it, in no uncertain terms, THEFT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, and, for good measure, he wrote it in all caps and underlined it twice.

I don't know how these guys stumbled across my humble blog and why they're so perturbed about it, but words like a $2,000 fine and cease and desist really grab you attention. So, the compromise is, according to them, to shut down the entire blog.

So much for free speech! I'm going to fight this thing.
