True, as one of the independant webmasters who got the cease and desist
letter when he shut down all but the offical c&h site, Watterson is very
protective of his copyright. Whatever his reasons, I had no recourse but to
comply.
However, that being said, my newt is named "Hobbes" and I have a b/w
backdrop that I use, and would be happy to distribute for the mutual
enjoyment of other fans of this strip. if anyone is interested you can
e-mail me, as I have no need nor desire to deal with lawyers any more. :)
later,
ben.
