Kipling Monkey

You know, I have been thinking about creating a Facebook (fan) page for my site. But, apparently, somebody has beat me to the punch. I don't mind so much that there's a Kipling Monkey page on Facebook now -- more power to Kipling. But, what vexes me the most is when people use my copyrighted work without explicit permission.  I would have been flattered, maybe even cooperative, if I'd been asked for the use of my images. But, now I'm just annoyed, and would like the offending, unauthorized page account disabled.  Grrr...

Always check for Kipling authenticity. One way to do that is by inspecting the Kipling logo carefully.

Here's an example of a blatant fake:
