toonlet is a cool service that provides tools that allow you to create web comics with custom characters in a matter of minutes, regardless of artistic ability. The comics can then be shared with others or embed in blogs or websites. Check out the toonlet tour to see how it’s done.
The guys from toonlet will have a table at this weekend’s Maker Faire Bay Area 2008 and in honor of the event, Craig from toonlet has created this comic that pays tribute to the wonderful Life Size Mousetrap.

In my household, we use Toonlet instead of speaking face to face. It’s much more powerful than “words.” Toonlet kicks butt and takes our names.
Note section six of the EULA:
http://toonlet.com/eula
6. License. In consideration of your use of the Toonlet Site and the Toonlet Services, you hereby grant to Toonlet a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty free, worldwide license in any and all User Artwork created by you through or with the Toonlet Site and the Toonlet Services. Toonlet may exercise all rights granted to an owner of a copyright in all jurisdictions in the world, including, but not limited to, the right to copy and publicly display the User Artwork and to sublicense it to third parties in any format or media, and in any distribution network that it chooses. User hereby waives any rights that User may have in any jurisdiction to any moral rights of “droit moral” with respect to the User Artwork, and confirms that Toonlet may reasonably revise or alter the User Artwork or any element of the User Artwork or engage a third party to perform such revisions or alterations in order to allow the User Artwork to be used by Toonlet for any purpose.
Nice internationalization touch with the explicit mention of “droit moral”, too.
Hi, Stephan (and all the other Squiddies, too)
We tried to make our EULA as close to the Creative Commons Non-Commercial Attribution 3.0 license as possible, but stopped just shy of it, under the advice of our lawyer. After all, we’d like toonlet to make money at some point, but it’s also worth pointing out that all works created on toonlet are owned by the person who created them. You make a strip, it’s yours.
We kinda need a worldwide license in perpetuity, since the strips remain on toonlet in perpetuity, and toonlet can be viewed by anyone around the globe.
Are there particulare sticking points with Article 6 that rankle you? What would you prefer to see? We worked hard to create terms that we felt were fair to everyone, so if that’s not your feeling, please let me know what you feel would be appropriate.
Feel free to respond here or email me at craig at tooonlet dot com.
Thanks
-Craig (from toonlet)
