Accusation of Plagiarism
Dirty Duck was also the title of a comic strip created in 1971 by Bobby London, which appeared in National Lampoon magazine and now appears in Playboy. While the film itself is not related to London's character or comics, the underground cartoonist claimed that the film was plagiarized from his comic strip and that " Crumb's lawyers, by the way, refused to help me stop these guys."

It has possessed the will to the final corruption that is even possible. The Christian church has left nothing untouched by its depravity: it has turned every value into a disvalue, every truth into a falsehood, every integrity into a vileness of the soul.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author’s phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
