ComfyCon2013
Commentary on the online, cartoonist convention.

PCMag.com Seems to be confused about what “Fair Use” is
PCMAG.com did a list of their favorite webcomic, posting several strips in part or in full, without asking permission. Though it’s said this is fair use to do this, PCMag.com had sent emails to those creators saying that if they wanted to quote the article, they would have to pay a fee?
This is mainly about the double standard.

But more on that within this episode! How well did the fans take the ending? How did HE take the ending? What will he do next? Who has Dimitri fathered? All these questions might be answered!
