Another Defeat For McFarlane

You'd think that, at some point, comic mogul Todd McFarlane would learn that he simply can't beat Neil Gaiman in court and shouldn't waste any more money trying. I mean, he keeps losing, battle after battle, and yet keeps coming back for more. The verdict in the latest contest between the two men has come in, and sure enough: Todd's been found to be in the wrong, and Neil's got the law on his side. Again. This is news as welcome as it is predictable. Way to go, Mr Gaiman!

It's almost like McFarlane lives in some parallel universe where all that matters is what you believe... not what the facts actually support. I've known a few people like that over my life, and arguing with them is largely a waste of time. Programs like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report often showcase those poor, deluded folks by simply letting them talk (like the guy recently who apparently believes that Hitler and the heads of the Nazi party were all homosexuals, as a way of justifying his own homophobic stance). It's just sad to think that one member of that category of reality-deniers is a highly popular comic book writer/artist (no accounting for tastes on that front, but that's a whole 'nother blog post).
