My initial response was shock, because obviously that's a horrible rip-off of your style, Johnny!

But because I'm self absorbed my second thought was "How come this asshole has an illustration in the local paper and I'm still waiting to get published?"

BUT MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS OF YOU, FRIEND!

Is it worse that it's a blatant rip-off of your style, or that it's a horrible realised piece of work?

Honestly, there ought to be a law. A proper one, that involves punishment by snake bites.

(Not "snakebite", the much beloved first cocktail of many a British youth)

Ahahaha! That is great! And by great I mean awful and hilarious. It's so blatant.
I've always hated the saying that imitation is the highest form of flattery.
