Never read Pooch Cafe, information. It is possible for artists to come up with similar ideas. There are only a finite number of topics and other comics would have come up similar ideas of the vast number of years. No doubt Pooch cafe touched on subjects of pre-existing toons as well.
Once in a while it is bound to happen, but this is the third or fourth case of it in three weeks. The layouts are too similar and the jokes are just too close. I am embarrassed for them.
hey waitaminnit! 4 years ago. you wanna complain about the similarity to a strip which came out 4 years ago? sorry, but you really need a better hobby (IMHO).
Why not? Is there a statute of limitations on intellectual property theft? Why not just copy Calvin & Hobbes verbatim from his books? He’s been retired since 1995 so GO CRAZY!
15 years is much better than 4 years, right?
The point is that these guys are either stealing or stupid either way they should go out of their way to make their work look original.

I had a cousin who was a tree surgeon, but he died.
He fell out of one of his patients.

Another almost verbatim ripoff of Pooch Cafe. Write your own stuff Mick and Mason! It’s more satisfying.

Put a sign up if you don’t like it. lol
Good point, Grog. I’m with you. I’ve seen many similarities over the many years of reading comics.
