If the Know Your Meme people are listening, they can take note (please do!). I’ve even said this before! On this very same subject.
Twitter is basically the worst thing to have within arms reach when you’re cranky.Īnd 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 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. The thing about saying anything on the internet is that it lives forever. Guess I was really down about memewhore! Memewhore, what a nemesis! I wish I never did say them, but I don’t even know when I did, only that it was some years ago. I can’t deny those are my words, but hey, we all have bad days. If you go to a site like Know Your Meme, there are even my words there saying so! PRESERVED FOREVER, to my embarrassment. I think when it started happening a lot, I was seeing it everywhere, and didn’t know what to make of it. 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. My comics often get traced with characters replaced. It’s basically this: I don’t care if people trace my comics for fun. However, since expressing her disdain, she had changed her stance on how her images can be used, and expressed that she wished she had not done so, and explained that she enjoys seeing derivatives of her work. 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 tumblrs as well. There even exists a whole tumblr devoted to Homestuck versions of Hark! A Vagrant strips.

Series which have been featured in these redraws include among others, Sherlock, Mass Effect, Homestuck, and Adventure Time. Kate Beaton's comics are a frequent source of parody online, with her comics often redrawn to change the characters to those of a different series. Her work on the comic has also been nominated for Joe Shuster awards in 20 and for a Harvey Award in 2010, before finally winning the Harvey Award for Best Online Comic in 20. Kate Beaton's work on the comic has achieved critical acclaim, with her first independently-released collection of comics Never Learn Anything About History winning the 2009 Doug Wright Award for best emerging talent.
