Authors and artists have re-mixed and appropriated forever. These boundaries haven't always been so hard, but have only become stronger as corporations have asserted their role as creative producers. Kevin, I don't specifically want to speak to the relevance of originality, but who's to judge whether quality is going up? What's quality? Does your checklist somehow improve Provensen's drawing?

Which is higher quality, your apple or his orange? ps--I believe it's spelled 'grrrrrreat' These issues are fascinating.
