Fair use rationale for Image:FeatureFunnies7.jpg

Image:FeatureFunnies7.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Images

I've worked with Pepso for a couple of years now and very much respect his work and scholarship. I have to say, though, that the Little Big Book image was way too big, and that the comic strip itself should be the lead image of an article about a comic strip. But since the strip iamge that is here doesn't show the title character, the best I can think of for now is to use the comic-book cover, which shows the title character and the breakout character. This isn't a perfect solution, but there's a logic to it. We should find a Mickey Finn strip with Mickey in it. -- Tenebrae (talk) 20:20, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? Mickey is in that strip. He's just not in uniform. Pepso2 (talk) 20:56, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good eye. "D'oh!" on me! I'll put it up top. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:21, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Must be a better Sun. strip of Finn somewhere, but I never found one. And my restoration on this one not the greatest. Pepso2 (talk) 22:08, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Succession

I've let this be with respect to COI and reliable sources, but can say with certainty that my "Uncle Lank"'s only assistant and sole successor from at latest the mid 1960s was my father, Morris Weiss. Sometimes my father would bring me to the Leonard's home, where he shared workspace in Lank's large studio. After Lank ailed my father worked on the strip at our house, where his studio was a corner of the family dining room. Sources that report another cartoonist as a late assistant are erroneous. I want to lay this out for discussion before correcting the intro. Many thanks (this public computer won't allow me to sign properly #@*!) JNW.

Lambiek's short biography on Mart Bailey states that he was, sadly, incapacitated after being mugged in the 1960s, which would indicate that any contributions he made to the strip would have preceded this time frame. Perhaps it was a comic book of an earlier era that he took over. JNW
