Life's Tough When You Legally Can't Use the Characters You Created....

You remember this guy from Late Night with Conan O'Brien?

Of course you do! It's the Masturbating Bear!

Well, if you go see Conan live this summer on his tour (with Comix favorite Reggie Watts opening!), you won't see the Masturbating Bear. You will instead see this guy.

Hey look, it's the Self Pleasuring Panda!!!!

NBC has locked up all of Conan's characters in copyright prison, so he's having to improvise. What other characters can we expect in the months to come?

The Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman Switch?


Drugdealbot 4000?


Or maybe Victory the Mean Canine?
