AFTER THE FACT:

I’m sure most people who draw comics for a living get requests to use their drawings for any number of things. A couple of weeks ago I got an email request to use one of my strips:

Dear Tony.

I am putting together slides for the battledecks session at the Handheld Librarian III . I would like to use the following slide as part of what our presenters will be speaking to. The conference is July 28-29.

(Here is where she inserted the comic seen above)

In case you’re not familiar with battledecks presentations they are 5 minute off-the-cuff presentation by conference presenters using slides they’ve never seen before to comment on using mobile technologies in libraries.

Thanks for your consideration of this request.

Beth

Isn’t that interesting? I thought so. I’ve replied to Beth and told her I had no problem with using the strip for this as long she included the url.

If there’s any other comics creators reading this, what’s the oddest/most interesting request you ever got? (and did you take them up on it?)
