Copyright, Fair Use & Creative Commons
Questions Do I need permission to use this?
If it’s on the web, can anyone use it?
Should I cite the source?
If there’s no © symbol, can I copy it?
I’m in education, so isn’t everything I do considered fair use?

Letter to Frazz Mr. Mallett (I'd call you Jef but I don't know you);
I really appreciate the subtle humor (and blatant humor) in your comic.I am a professor of Instructional Technology at the University of Northern Iowa. I would like to use your Feb 22, 2005 comic to show how a teacher might use a comic to start a discussion.May I have permission to display it in my lectures?
Thank you,Leigh
Jef MalletYow! Just in the nick of time -- sorry I'm slow
getting to my e-mail (I suppose it's a good thing it
piles up so fast, but still).
Absolutely, I'd be flattered if you used it in your lectures. Huge thanks!
And definitely, call me Jef. You know me well enough.
Jef
