Fair Use Rationale for the article The Biologic Show[edit]

• The image is used to represent a comic, The Biologic Show #1, by a known cartoonist, Al Columbia
• This image has been used in several websites, and so its use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is
• The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the comic
• The image is of low resolution
• The image does not limit the author or publishing company's ability to sell the comic
• The only purpose of the image is to help describe the comic The Biologic Show and no other purpose

If this rationale is not adequate, please tell me specifically what is wrong with it before moving to delete the file and I will try to improve it. Or feel free to fix it yourself. InnocuousPseudonym 03:36, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
