Shame they've ripped off superdickery.com without having the good grace to say that's where they took every single example.

I'm sure the person that wrote that article has seen Superdickery, but all of those panels were floating around the internet long before Superdickery came along, and they were all in printed comics long before the internet came along. SD just collected them all in one place and added its own comments (and it wasn't even the first to do that), which is exactly what this list is doing.

Most of the panels are the exact same size (left click to see properties) and cropped identically (down to extraneous bits of white borders) - which strongly suggests the article lifted those images straight off of Superdickery. Now, as you say, all those panels existed in printed comics before Superdickery came along, and he's perfectly entitled to use those panels for making his own list. But if he's going to actually use Superdickery's scans, then he should at least have the manners to give that site a credit (doubly so because if he lifted their images, it implies his "research" was going through their pages picking out the ones he liked). That's all it is - manners or the lack thereof. Credit your sources.

to bad some rather complain than enjoy the panels :rolleyes:

if the people at superdickery have a problem I'm sure they can stand up for themselves until then just enjoy the panels.

Eh, I've heard Superdickery accused of stealing a page or two from places before.

The difference between this blog and superdickery is that superdickery compiled its own rather extensive list (both on its own and thanks to other sources) made many of its own scans, makes a good archive of such covers/panels, and took the time to make its own comments.

The writer of this blog read a funny website, cut and paste 15 examples off the website, and added a sentence of commentary to each. No thought or originality was put into it.

That said, it's a blog on the internet. Lots of people blog about lots of things who put even less thought and originality into what they say.

So who cares what this particular blogger did? That said, I'd be more inclined to dismiss/ignore said blog than to advertise it.

Better to link to things like Superdickery or What Were They Thinking (http://luchins.com/wwtt/)

Too bad that some people are happy to rip off someone else's work without having the minimal decency to admit where they got it from. If the blogger had said "here's a cool site illustrating my point (link), and now here's my favourite examples from it with my own comments" then I'd have no problem with it. It's the passing it off like it was their own research that annoys me. Chris Nowlin sums up the difference between the two sites well.

And too bad some people are happy to support such ill-mannered actions.

[Mister Blisterfists]

Does Superdickery list the source and issue number of every one of its scans?

then they don't have the decency to admit where they got it from either.
