Well, there ya go. If you copy an image and change it a certain amount (and GROG not know how much it has to be changed) than you can get away with using it. You can also directly rip-off characters if you use them for parody, that's how some cartoons and comedies get away using copyrighted characters from other cartoons and movies. Post some pics Tipsy so we can see the original and the bastardized version. GROG worked with Cindy in Texas. She played stand-up base in a Rockabilly band called the Flametrick Subs. That's what GROG alluding to in GROG' Elviki cartoon.
