Recently, the Jack Gallery in Los Angeles hosted an exhibition entitled “Golddigger” featuring the works of Todd Goldman, the guy responsible for those "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them" shirts and other items that raised a controversy a few years back.

The funny thing is that a Something Awful reader noticed that among Goldman’s “originals” was a replica of Dave’s Purple Pussy strip and a forum thread appeared over at Something Awful, comparing the two.



Then, in the words of Scott Kurtz "Word about the plagiarism as spread throughout the webcomics community and now, a strip that nobody noticed has found an all new context. It has been elevated to the status of a symbol of plagiarized work. The news made it outside of the webcomics community and into the larger world of mainstream comics. Rich Johnston’s popular Lying in the gutters column even featured the story."

And it also made Todd Goldman´s wikipedia page, which also linked to other sources that Todd Goldman has plagarized in his work. For a gallery of everything that Todd has supposedly plagarized, theres a huge list here, with image comparisions

Amazing that talentless thieves like Todd Goldman can get rich.

If you wish to help- Todd Goldman has a profile at the Jack Gallery website, they manage him (?). The gallery can be reached toll free by phone: 877.252.2122, or artist representation email: rep@S²art.com
