Dear Annette,
I recently have tried to do the same and was quite pleased with my own
cleverness UNTIL a colleague told me that what I was doing (using cartoons
as powerpoint illustrations) was illegal. She said that at another
institution, word came down from administration that any use of such
material without consent (written?) was illegal and faculty had to stop
using these items. So, what is a humor-loving professor to do? (other than
spending lots of time and energy getting permissions or passing around
original copies in class).
