The media attorney hired to threatened TheOatmeal.com with a defamation lawsuit is now personally suing the humor site's creator. And a drawing is the reason.
Oatmeal creator Matthew Inman drew that cartoon after attorney Charles Carreon threatened legal action on behalf of FunnyJunk.com. Inman blogged about FunnyJunk hosting his work without permission, and now FunnyJunk says he's damaged their brand - among other charges. The site demanded $20,000 in compensation.
