Don't be such a foob!
Is Lynn Johnston going to join the ranks of Lee G*ldb*rg an' Anne Rice? Say it ain't so, April Patterson!
The FOOBiverse is a Livejournal community dedicated to the Canadian comic strip For Better Or For Worse. Since its origins as a part of the Fametracker forums, members have poked fun at, an' criticized heavily, Lynn Johnston's storylines, artwork, retcons, an' anything else related to FBorFW, and it's now listed on FBorFW's Wikipedia page an' everything. Johnston - or one of her employees, called "Lynnions" - has been diligent about sending CoD notices to any journals caught reproducing her artwork in any way, shape, or form, so most posts just do a panel-by-panel critique.
But satire is fair game, right?
Well, it appears Lynn's sense of humor is as frozen as a caribou carcass in the Canadian Arctic. Livejournal now threatens suspension of users who have icons reported as mocking FBorFW. Specifically, they seem to target aprilp_katje, who specializes in making icons mocking April Patterson. Predictably, wank continues, an' a helpful mouse points out to those whining that "There is No 'Free Speach' in Canda". As at least one of the targeted users vows to fight this, I'm sure this will continue to grow. Sic Semper Tyrannis, an' Godspeed, brave ones.
Full disclosure: I'm not in this one, but I do have an irrational hatred for April Patterson. Please, no Canada-bashing.
ETA: Some April-related blogging satire. And here is Comics Curmudgeon's cease and desist mention from
tiki, though it appears that fighting it actually works.
