I just discovered a link on facebook and wondered if anyone has been following this 'Oatmeal' story about cartoon/comic sites battling over hijacked/pirated files?

I had to go down and work forward, but this is absurdly entertaining in an 'f-u' kind of way...

I mentioned it in another thread yesterday. It's certainly fascinating to behold, and it's interesting to see all these crazy lawyers (see Thompson, Jack) gravitate to internet feuds. And take the idea of a charity drive so personally

Heh. Well, that was a weird and fun story.

It just got a little bit crazier

Is it really over?

Charles Carreon, the FunnyJunk lawyer who got into a spat with Oatmeal cartoonist Matt Inman and ended up suing Inman and a few charities, finally retracted his legal claims last week. But the retraction was provisional—"without prejudice" in legal parlance—and the suit can be brought again.

This weekend, it became clear that Camp Carreon isn't done with Inman yet—a new video depicts the cartoonist as a "Psycho Santa," while a new website suggests that Carreon might like to pursue litigation against those who engaged in a "Distributed Internet Reputational Attack" against him.
