screwed, too. Ain't right.

Litigate the crap outta these muthafukkas, like their boy LOSER 45 does -

edit- Matt Furie, creator of Pepe, last May:

Furie wrote in Time magazine last October that the experience of having his copyrighted creation appropriated as a hate symbol had been a “nightmare”.

Fantagraphics issued a statement denouncing the appropriation of the “mellow, positive-vibed frog that he is in the hands of his creator”, which had led to it being categorised as a hate symbol, causing Furie “significant emotional and financial harm”.

“Having your creation appropriated without consent is never something an artist wants to suffer, but having it done in the service of such repellent hatred — and thereby dragging your name into the conversation, as well — makes it considerably more troubling.”
