The image on Crazy Enough to Work has a copyright notice and symbol (©) in the upper left-hand corner. I had originally deleted it for this reason but read in the (Edit banned/Suspended - would like to edit again) thread that I had to submit it to the Image Pickin' thread before doing so. I have restored the picture and am submitting this.

Fixed the link, you have to CamelCase it.

As far as the pic goes, the copyright lists who it's actually to as opposed to just the symbol so we're covered on that front. However, this looks like a single-panel cartoon, which is not allowed without permission. Can someone verify this?

Every single cartoon on the artist's site is single-panel and sometimes a bit of text underneath. Pulling image-that's-being-sold-for-$130 (out of interest, where is the colored version that we had from?).

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

The How to Pick a Good Image page says:

"If an image has a little copyright stamp (©) on it, we can't use it."

The About Images and Copyright page says:

"If there is a copyright symbol © with or without a name, on the work shown, and there isn't any more to that work — a single-panel comic, for example — we can't use it at all. It is not an excerpt. It is the whole thing."

The picture has a copyright stamp (©) and is a single panel comic, so under the the rules above it is illegal.
