The day Shonen punk! was stollen from me.
Well now, Let me tell you a little story.

Back in 2005 purrsia press Contacted me about publishing Shonen Punk! I thought The place looked a little seedy , but took a chance and sent them a CD with the first chapter of shonenpunk! They requested a hardcopy instead. I never sent one out due to lame personal problems. I never eard from them after that.

Now zoom on over to 2007. Here I am bored googling shonen punk! when what do i find? Purrsia press has just published Shonenpunk as of feb. 2007.

But wait a second.... I never got asked if it was still ok. nor did i give any rights to do so. nor have i gotten a penny not even an email stating they were still going to publish or still wanted to publish SP. As far as i know I don;t think this is right at all!!


What did they think, that by being small press I wouldn't find out they are publishing my comic with out my consent? and even putting shirt stories i did into their anthology?

really, what the hell is going on here? I've never been i n this kind of predicament. What should I do? I'm told I should take him to court. ... I'm not sure really.

But I'm going to ask you all if you can. please help me get my story out there. This is something that affects all webcomics artists/writers. we can't let these types get away wth this. please just pass along the story in any ways you think you can. or just email me advice or your thoughts.

You didn't mention whether you have tried contacting Purrsia and asked them to stop - did you? Yeah, 2 years later you think they'd check and see if it was still okay, but that wouldn't occur to some people. I always prefer to assume ignorance rather than malice.

I would assume malice. It's not the first time Purrsia Press has done this.

Take their happy asses to court.

They obviously don't intend to give you any credit, otherwise they never would have published it without your consent.


You. Their dumb-asses. Court.


Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

Purrsia Press doesn't pay anyone. That's even if you get a deal. That's the main reason that I don't offer to do any real work for them. Supposedly if they print your stuff you get 25 copies of it.

But my experience is that they take art for special issues that are submitted for contests and reprint the art over and over. The artists are supposed to get 3 copies of whatever special their art appears in, but I had to keep e-mailing to get my last set and there were some books I didn't know I was in until I ran into the owner at a con.

Two new studies show why some people are more

Two new studies show why some people are more attractive for members of the opposite sex than others.

The University of Florida, Florida State University found that physically attractive people almost instantly attract the attention of the interlocutor, sobesednitsy with them, literally, it is difficult to make eye. This conclusion was reached by a series of psychological experiments, which were determined by the people who believe in sending the first seconds after the acquaintance. Here, a curious feature: single, unmarried experimental preferred to look at the guys, beauty opposite sex, and family, people most often by representatives of their sex.

The authors believe that this feature developed a behavior as a result of the evolution: a man trying to find a decent pair to acquire offspring. If this is resolved, he wondered potential rivals. Detailed information about this magazine will be published Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

In turn, a joint study of the Rockefeller University, Rockefeller University and Duke University, Duke University in North Carolina revealed that women are perceived differently by men smell. During experiments studied the perception of women one of the ingredients of male pheromone-androstenona smell, which is contained in urine or sweat.

The results were startling: women are part of this repugnant odor, and the other part is very attractive, resembling the smell of vanilla, and the third group have not felt any smell. The authors argue that the reason is that the differences in the receptor responsible for the olfactory system, from different people are different.

It has long been proven that mammals (including human) odor is one way of attracting the attention of representatives of the opposite sex. A detailed article about the journal Nature will publish.
