I thought it’s been clearly stated in TFTQ comms when Frazer was putting the whole thing together that creators own the rights to their strips unless it’s IP. Strips that he has refused to publish in its entirety or fulfil the promised campaign goals.
It has been one thousand (1000) eight hundred (800) and fifty (50) three (3) days since #tftq was funded. And now Frazer Brown’s trying to copyright-troll another publication over it. Go back A1Deadline today! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dee...
