"a new surprising surprise"...heh. I love this crazy alien version of Pooh. No matter what happens, he's always still the same, cute, curious bear.

NO LONGER!

They used the motion detectors to hunt each one down and corner them.
Fire is the only way to cleanse the wood.

Are they "COMING FROM THE WALLS!" yet?

Brilliant!

This is what Tiggers do best...

operate a hydraulic exoskeleton.

And with that, GH has just won the Internet.

This is so beautiful...

A little tear just fell from my eye.

:hearts: love these :hearts:

Who keeps ringing Pooh's bell and leaving?

ohh, awesome!

This stuff is a real crowd pleaser.

My god... what's next? Pooh vs. Predator?

Alieneeyore was too shy to devour Pooh uninvited.

"I guess I'll just wait in here if anyone wants to be eaten."

I'm not even slightly joking when I say: I would pay $24.95 for a properly bound coffee-table scale version of the drawings exactly as they appear in this thread, no redoing of artwork needed.

BG, what's the legality of publishing work using other people's IP protected characters in parody?

Let me know when this is done, GH, and we'll move it up front so that the world can see. This is too awesome not to share.

It should be done like one of those Little Golden Books:

Indeed it should. I would stick it in my daughter's bedtime story rotation post-haste.

if anyone changes their mind."

I'm not that certain about American copyright laws. I would guess that this work could not be sold. There are multiple licensees of Milne's work (e.g. Disney) and one or more might take issue with distributing and selling the characters' likenesses to the full extent within a story and not having the rights. It might be all right to give it away, but even then a cease and desist from Disney wouldn't surprise me.

Fine, we'll just send them a facehugger or two and take care of that problem.

The only question is WHICH franchise would sue me first.

Well, U.S.-based Parragon Publishing licenses the rights from Disney for various activity books. Dutton is an imprint under Penguin, which does the "classics" you're basing your work on. I imagine the former would be slighted if you didn't have rights to publish, but I imagine the latter would be more likely to take action.

Disney, on the other hand, gets my vote as the first to sue you if it were to happen. I've heard of them doing stuff like that and, after all, they are the actual holder of the copyright.

Cast aside these worries. You must focus on the marvelous story. You've got us by the balls and/or ovaries here.

Oh dear, something seems to have landed on Pooh.

Wouldn't it be protected as parody, though?

Then again, that might not stop Disney from suing anyway. Long legal battles are never fun.

My son got a blank Little Golden Book. I think it came along with a pack of 5 other regular LGBs, shrinkwrapped. Of course, it would be too short to fit all of these images, not to mention their awesomeness.

That's cool Redlemon, maybe I should pick that up and make my kids a story.
I tend to hide these pictures from them.
I have qualities that must be kept from my children until they are older.

How many pages does it have?
Is the cover blank?

Oh yeah...now hold still Pooh!

The cover is blank, with that gold strip on the edge. I'm not sure where it is, but I just looked up:


and it seems that they are 24 pages. Ah, some other links:

Pigglet! Nooooooooooooooo

Charalatan, my dear sweet flickr contact, it will be ok...

Pooh's really accumulating too many new orifices, in a variety of new, alarming ways.

I'm not sure if I, personally, have said it as of yet, and I'm not going to be as descriptive as stating that you should be my new life-partner soon, as others have intimated before me, but nevertheless; Thank you.

I love when an endeavor becomes something bigger than whence it began, and becomes a story unto itself.

Thank you for thanking me Master Jetée.

"I wish for a new face."

LOL I love this whole thread. What makes it so great is that you really know your pooh bear. :)

*bows down to the mighty pattied one*

This is amazing, and makes me insanely jealous I can't draw worth shit. :)

Toaster, your lines are out there on the paper waiting for you to find them.
