Using cartoons: Excelente gag por el genial Royston Robertson

Now I've no idea who this guy is, or why he's used one of my cartoons to illustrate his blog entry. But he's given me a credit and a link to my website, which helps Google rankings of course, so I'll turn a blind eye. Plus, according to the Altavista Babelfish translator, "el genial" translates as "the brilliant one". Flattery will get you everywhere.

But I would say to anyone thinking of lifting cartoons from this blog, or my website, please ask. If it's for any kind of for-profit site, there will of course be a charge. But if it's for a blog, like this one, I may just ask for a credit and a link to my website. Gracias y adiĆ³s.
