# Thank you Sir!
Your compliments did not go unnoticed. The official version only uses the XScreenSaver logo, nothing more.

But a legal leg is not what I want to stand on. I want some sage advice in the diplomatic section, and maybe someone who knows someone who works at the BBC.

# Ahh
well if they're not using the Doctor Who logo, there shouldn't be a problem

the BBC can't claim copyright on "Wooshy colourful zoomy tunnel effect"

I refer you to the case of "The Neville vs. Don Hertzfeldt" in which El Hertzfeldt threatened me with legal action because I was drawing
stick figures and putting them on my website. He too, *gasp* draws stick figures and makes a fair amount of cash out of it, but doesn't like
other people drawing vaguely similar stick figures, apparently.

# I still say they weren't similar.
 
Yours are funny, for one thing.

# For that, I am sorry.
Herr Hertzfeld did a great short called "Rejected",
and I laughed so hard my tummy did hurt.

However, pillow bodied humaniods have prior art dating to over 3000 b.c.

It was the timing, the humor, and certainly _not_ the drawing style, that I found funny.
