Sick Cartoons: Humorous Take on Copyright and Copying Issues #1938038 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white editorial cartoon by J.M. (2008) humorously critiques misunderstandings in copyright and reproduction requests. A customer asks for a “regular cartoon called in sick,” intending to request a substitute, but the rabbit staff at the “Copy Centre” interpret it literally-leading to absurdity. The scene includes shelves of stacked books and a sign emphasizing the setting’s function.
