I just discovered this discussion two years after it began. I’m a gag writer who works with a couple of syndicated cartoonists. I’m beginning to understand that unless you are co-creating a panel (like Zits or Jeremy, etc), a cartoonist’s use of someone like me can be open (w/ an acknowledgement line) or private, at their discretion. If the tables were turned and I was a long-time cartoonist with a brand to maintain and simply wanted to get outside help maintaining that brand by privately collaborating with a gag writer, it seems perfectly acceptable.
Companies hire outside consultants all the time for such purposes w/o putting the consultant’s name in the letterhead.

I’m assuming comments will be back at some point, but, meanwhile, this utterly deranged spam is the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time. I suggest you leave it up at least until everything else is in place.

Or until she comes back to explain why, if she’s called “Erika from Kentucky,” she signs her post “Ana.” Been dipping into the inventory?

Theres a fine line between artistic licence and plagiarism. The way I see it Dracula has been done so many times, and Bram Stoker or his woman have not been credited for most works on vampyres, and Mary Shelley has not been credited in every work about Frankenstein or walking patchwork people.
That said, nothing much is original anymore, so it is difficult to come up with something unique. Its also difficult when the river runs dry, and nothin comes out.
In times like these, you have to decide between becoming a factory product or a Daniel Day Lewis.

The credibility of the poet or comedian is at stake, and is not something anyone can comment on without being judgementally unsound. With so many hungry mouths out there it is more than a moral issue. Granted, if you are not talking on a moral plane, or an ethical one, then you do not give the question the emotional quality that an audience demands.
What is the point of asking this question? Where are you taking people, and what do you want out of this?
Bottom line is that this is a society that uses money for practices of self-worth, and no one wants to prostitute themselves for nothing.
Teamwork isn’t a bad thing although the label may take all the credibility.
