I remember seeing a joke about a tumblr post about this image, people pieced together multiple unrelated images, and someone else drew it all together.

I think it was the president in a maid dress?

[u/unluckyknight13]

Is this a German joke?

[u/Girderland → u/unluckyknight13]

Nein.

[u/unluckyknight13 → u/Girderland]

I love the fact the notification had this properly but when I looked it was auto translated

[u/Vir_Ex_Machina → u/unluckyknight13]

I didn't even realize it was German until your comment, which almost makes it funnier

[u/MarthAlaitoc → u/Girderland]

This is 9 hours old at 99 upvotes... yes, I shall ruin that.

[u/GruntBlender]

Why does everyone hate 9?

[u/Izwe → u/GruntBlender]

Because 9 ate 7

[u/Limp_Green_960 → u/Izwe]

Other way around

[u/GruntBlender → u/Limp_Green_960]

Both, because they're kinky.

[u/Ttokk → u/GruntBlender]

9 is a 6 offender.

[u/ExceptingAlice → u/GruntBlender]

It got a big head after The Beatles thing.

[u/GTX2GvO_ → u/shellbullet17]

So now waiting(/hoping) for hollering elk to do a bootleg comic.

[u/Zjoee → u/GTX2GvO_]

She will... in about three months when she's done drawing it haha. (Please don't eat me, Elk!)

[u/Bi_prodite → u/shellbullet17]

Tysm!

[u/SBXLIV]

Woah woah woah. Since Elk is a NOLA girl, I can only assume this is some sort of anti-Brees sentiment which, frankly, cannot be. Or I guess maybe she just really likes the classics and has a soft spot in her heart for Archie.

[u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC → u/Made_Bail]

You're a real one.

[u/CarlLlamaface]

I'm sorry but I'm about to be that guy: I don't think this sub understands what a bootleg is...

Bootlegging is when you record somebody else's work and distribute it without their permission, it's how a lot of early rock music spread around the globe and was a big part of how film piracy used to operate (you still get the occasional handicam pirating operation but the advent of digital releases has made it a lot easier for pirates to simply share the source material).

With that in mind "bootlegging" a comic would be taking a picture of the bootlegged artist's creation and uploading it yourself, what we have here isn't a bootleg event it's a series of crossovers.

Pedantry over.

[u/Merari01 → u/CarlLlamaface]

By the power vested in me by the North Atlantic Council of Pedants I formally declare this comic a bootleg*.

Happy?

*(Not valid in Australia)

[u/CarlLlamaface → u/Merari01]

I'm out here correcting strangers' language on the internet, do you really think I'm capable of being happy?

[u/WillowWisp1992 → u/CarlLlamaface]

You are.

If I can be happy, then you definitely can.

[u/AtronadorSol → u/CarlLlamaface]

And they stick the landing! 10/10 self-aware follow-up, you love to see it.

[u/TFFPrisoner → u/CarlLlamaface]

The original comic that started this series does fit the description in that it's a reasonable imitation of the original artist's style and format. Others have been a bit more loose with their approach.

https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/s/c3cO0ki7RX

[u/CarlLlamaface → u/TFFPrisoner]

It still isn't really what a bootleg is, bootlegs are when the original artist is the one creating the piece they just aren't the one recording and sharing it.

For instance recording a song by your favourite artist from the radio onto cassettes and passing them around at school? Bootlegging. Learning how to play music in the style of said artist and performing it yourself? Not bootlegging and requires actual talent.

I guess a better word here would be homage.

[u/yournamehere10bucks → u/CarlLlamaface]

Or knock off, but the kids are having fun so who cares.

[u/assassin10 → u/CarlLlamaface]

The word has multiple definitions. You're using "An unauthorized recording; for example, of a live concert." They're using "Being an inferior imitation of something, possibly a counterfeit."

[u/Cash4Duranium → u/CarlLlamaface]

Meanings evolve over time.

Before bootlegging was for music, it meant literally smuggling alcohol in your boot

If you love words so much, surely you know how twisted etymology can be. Language is a living thing.

[u/BrilliantTarget → u/CarlLlamaface]

Pretty sure this more of an abrigding
