I was sent a cartoon that relates to some of my archaeology posts. What are the laws about permission to post it on my site?
Well, let's try it. This does fit with my comments about mis- or overinterpreting archaeologiscal evidence.
If I have used this improperly I will gladly take it down. It is from Science Cartoons Plus, the site of Sidney Harris. Some of the gallery cartoons look familiar from years ago, and the bio tells me he has been drawing science cartoons since 1955.
In for a penny, in for a pound: this cartoon seems prophetic, as humorists often are.
I believe not for profit blogs like ours fall under Fair Use.
ReplyDeleteCopyright.gov has a summary.
I've generally tried to keep a link handy so the readers could buy something from the author/artist if they liked it.
ReplyDeleteThat is part of why I linked to the site.
ReplyDeleteI always liked his stuff. It showed a good understanding of science and what we used to call engineering (pre-computer guys). My favorite was always the guys with equations filling a blackboard (it used chalk) but "Step 2" was "Then a miracle occurs". One of the scientists looking at it say " I think you need some more detail in Step 2". It applies to almost anything.
