Seems to be a single-panel cartoon: Lampshade Wearing

Hmm… looks like a fair use violation to me. current image◊

It also uses a visual pun where a straight example would be preferable

Pulled for copyright issue.

Yep.

The second one's 404-ing.

Cartoon one doesn't show the setting, and I got 404'd on the photo one. The former could work anyway, though.

Ninja'd.

The photo on this article. Did that work?

That one's okay.

That works...I like it.

BTW, I sent an email to the guy who made the picture that was pulled. Waiting for a response.

We! Have! PERMISSION!

So we can put that picture back up, and just put that link to the site on the picture.

Since the copyright violation was the main reason the image got pulled, I put it back up.

And the archive made it nice enough to find the original strip to also link to.

So if we find other pictures on the site that could fit a page without a picture, we can just email her about it.

Awesomeness!

I hate to be a wet blanket but doesn't the Fair Use violation (entire work) trump permission?

If so, that would be silly, as the point is to avoid copyright infringement, and permission means no infringement. But we should still look it up, just to be sure.

I just don't know where it's written down.

Okay, it's here.

Well, the thing is that it doesn't mention permission, but doesn't exclude it either.

But the good news is that copyright means the holder gets to decide who can use a work outside of fair use. As the decision was made that we could use it, it's not a copyright violation, same as a lot of the original Deviant Art pictures we've posted here.

Well then, looks good to me. I liked the comic better than any of the other suggestions anyway. It's cute.

I'll ask for that to be accounted for on the copyright page in "editing locked threads".

EDIT: Added it to the "IP thread criteria" list, how's it look?

Permission from the copyright holder makes Fair Use irrelevant. "Fair Use" is about what you can do without permission.

Permission from the copyright holder trumps everything else in copyright questions.

Not trying to be a rules lawyer. I am really confused about what is okay to use. Conflicting signals or I don't get it. This says permission doesn't matter if it's the whole work... "Even if they say yes, though, we still have to apply Fair Use."

Does anyone prefer this one?

It's a little dark, but I like it other than that.

Since we have permission from the artist to use the original cartoon image, is there a good reason to find a different one?

You know, I'd forgotten about that. I moved the link to the actual comic into the examples list and tweaked the tag a bit. With that, we're done here; locking up.
