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."
