Fun fact: Garrison has violated Furie's copyright multiple times by being paid money to include Pepe in commissioned comics. If Furie wanted to he could sue for all the money Garrison made of any comic that was commissioned using Pepe

I find it ~astounding~ that avowed libertarian Garrison would do this. To a libertarian, nothing is more sacred than private property rights, and he has himslef been vigorous in prosecuting those that would deign steal his own beloved characters and art. Surely this paragon of virtues would not draw an entire cartoon belittling a fellow cartoonists struggles to reclaim his property from those who misuse it? Surely not!

Branco is a colossal loving racist and it is just and good to wish that he wasn't part of our shared existence.

But before he dies I hope he loses both of his hands in some sort of ironic punishment. Perhaps smashed in a freak easel accident or something.

The usual libertarian take on private property is that only applies to tangible objects. It's only bad if someone steals a physical piece of art. If someone duplicates your artwork and profits off of your idea without compensating you, tough titties. In Garrison's case, it's libertarianism for me, but not for thee.

I don't see how that could happen, it's not like he has anything dangerous with him when he's drawing...

I can pretty much guarantee you he actually straps on a gun before sitting down to squeeze out a comic to play to his big strong man fantasy. Branco comes off that insecure

Why is he drawing on the table rather than on the paper?

Or perhaps he's just trying to scratch his neck with his pencil? The perspective makes it hard to tell.

I can second this. These :freep: gun nutters wear their guns around the house "just in case". It is not uncommon to see dudes like Branco doing normal things like grilling, mowing the lawn, and even grocery shopping with their gun on their hip. Paranoid doesn't begin to describe what is wrong with these loonies.

I would say libertarians are divided re:IP. I believe there are both pro-IP and anti-IP major figures at the Cato Institute, for example. In general, views on IP issues don't really seem to map predictably to general political affiliations, perhaps because few major politicians make a big issue of them.

This doesn't remotely excuse Garrison's hypocrisy, of course.
