# Don Hertzfeldt
as the "Don Hertzfeldt's Legal Team" would imply.

he is apparently the drawer of the "rejected" cartoon that was going about the net for a while, containing "My spoon is too big" and "My anus is bleeding"

I'm sure someone else could probably fill you in better than I can.

also, please don't sue me for using the phrases "My spoon is too big" and "My anus is bleeding"

# i still can't believe it can be serious,
i mean - the two works were nearly exactly the same (at least, i thought at the time) - but they were just stickmen! it's quite hard to draw an "original" one!

# wel i get the general gist now
thanks :)

i think next week's compo should be 'draw in the style of Don Hertzfeldt'

# I've yet
to actually confirm the whole thing. I need to actually wait for them to get back to me about it. There's a possibility that someone's just spoofing their email address, although it's unlikely.

So until I hear back, Don Hertzfeldts still a nice guy...

# Never heard of him anyway.
He's not fit to lick Bill Plympton's boots judging by the daubings he's claiming were "academy award nominated".

Less time sending out letters, and more time spent learning to draw properly. Feckin' hippy.

*and relax

Dear Don Corleone,

Although you may be a fictious mafia gangster don it would appear you have an exact first name to Don Hertzfeldt. Your previous threats of sleeping with fishes does not amuse nor scare me.

Please change your name immediately
Yours,
Don Hertzfeldt's Legal Team.
