I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, so i'll do an update here so I can post it before my pal Tom Spurgeon gets up in the morning.
Family of Ben Wicks wins back misplaced drawings
Toronto Star- May 31.-4.30 a.m.
Case of 2,800 cartoons left behind by movers sets legal precedent for protection of artists' works
In what is viewed as an important legal precedent for the protection of artists' works, a judge is ordering the return of more than 2,800 Ben Wicks drawings to the family.
In an 11-page decision released yesterday, Superior Court Judge Thomas Lederer ruled the cartoons, depicting political figures back to the late 1960s, are the property of the late political cartoonist and not Richard Harnett, who found the drawings 15 years ago. They had been left by movers, packed in green garbage bags when Wicks' son, Vincent, moved from Keswick to Vancouver in 1992.
