😐

Last night I was on Wikipedia reading about a comics publisher named DSTLRY.

Then my heart skipped a beat.

I saw this:

I had started a comic strip titled Blastfamous years ago till my attention had to be diverted.

It gets worse. Look at their logo:

And here is mine:

They used the F for the cross while I used the T. Here's my digital file of me working out the logo (which had started on scraps of paper I do not want to look for at the moment, that is if I still have them):

According to Wikipedia, their title started in 2023.

Whereas I posted my 1st strip here in January 2022, and started posting the strips on Webtoons and Tapas in August 2022.

If I were a big shot creator I'd want them to at least change their logo if not their title too (the premises of our comics seem vastly dissimilar, although to be honest I have not read their work). But I'm a nobody and I'm not even IN in the industry. The highlights of my "career" were being published last year in a local comics magazine and being nominated for a local short story prize over a decade ago. I probably have 10 readers.

Then this morning before writing this I looked up blastfamous and found out that this pun that I came up with independently has been in use for over a decade.

The logo still bothers me though 😅.
