Matt Inman, creator of The Oatmeal webcomic, has snapped his promised picture of a huge pile of cash—but he used his own money, not donated funds.
Regular readers will remember that Inman tried to raise $20,000 online after Charles Carreon, lawyer for now-implacable-Oatmeal-foe FunnyJunk, asked Inman to cut him a check for that amount to cover alleged "defamation." Inman planned to photograph the cash and send the picture to Carreon—but the money itself would go to charity instead, to mock the initial demand. (The campaign actually raised more than $200,000.)
The whole case, now tangled in some truly bizarre litigation, threatened to put a stop to the picture taking.
