beatonna Memes, don't worry 'bout em Hey! There is something I want to talk about. No big deal. Its basically this: I don't care if people trace my comics for fun My comics often get traced with characters replaced. They get turned into memes. That's a thing that happens, and I guess my particular easy-to-copy style (let's be honest, Leonardo da Vinci, I am not) and gag comic format makes that easy! I have, in the past, voiced displeasure at this, only because the joke and the drawings would be traced without my name anywhere on it and shared a jillion times. I think when it started happening a lot, I was seeing it evervwhere, and didn't know what to make of it. If you go to a site like Know Your Meme, there are even my words there saying so! PRESERVED FOREVER, to my embarrassment. Kate Beaton has expressed her dissatisfaction with the creation of these redrawn comics on her Twitter, although much of her displeasure comes more from the lack of credit she gets from these spoofs, a problem she has with image-stealing tumbirs as well. Kate Beaton I just want to make comics that are mine, that don't get traced and them beatonna replaced with other characters, not put on sites without my name on Kate Beaton ever again ebeatonna 4m Kate Beaton beatonna when your comics get put on a tumbir called 'memewhore with no ource, 40000 notes, it makes you never want to put anything on the internet I can't deny those are my words, but hey, we all have bad days. I wish I never did say them, but I don't even know when I did, only that it was some years ago. Guess I was really down about memewhore! Memewhore, what a nemesis! The thing about saying anything on the internet is that it lives forever. But the thing about living on the earth is, your opinions can change over time, and also, you have good days and bad days where you are a cranky poo poo head on twitter. Twitter is basically the worst thing to have within arms reach when you're cranky And because things that you say live on the internet forever, I still get people talking about how these traced comics upset me, because for all they know, I said that yesterday. But nah, I'm fine, I'm good. I've even said this before! On this very same subject. If the Know Your Meme people are listening, they can take note (please do!). Because, I feel really crummy whenever it comes up again and someone says "just so you know she HATES THAT." No I don't. It's harmless. Have fun And try not to say dumb things on twitter that will be attached to your life forever. Thats my advice of the week. 39 notes

I just cant THIS IS WHERE THE MEME CAME FROM Seriously, though, the French LOVED Edgar Allan Poe, thanks in particular to Jules Verne. He even wrote a sequel to Poe's only novel, and numerous essays about how great an author Poe was. By all accounts, Poe (who lived a penniless life in the US) really "was" baffled by all of this. This is so ???? Pure?????
