More Rights Grabs from Must Read Magazines - Writer Beware (R)

Contains a link to a post on the Writer Beware (R) site about the Must Read Magazine's contracts for illustrators.
Pay Attention! These are professionals.
Panzer made a trip to the Writer Beware (R) site where he found an interesting post about Must Read Magazines.
 
After the trouble Must Read Magazines contracts caused with writers the new owners are using similar ones with illustrators. The outcome looks to be the same this time.
 
Panzer says, "This little kitty doesn't think it looks like they learned anything from the writer uproar."
 
Note: This is a very, very long post. You'll need to decide what you want to bring to snack on.

A Panzerism

 Panzer on the human idea of closure:
 
Mom's goldfish Molly died. Mom says she wants closure.
 
Silly idea. Cats don't waste their time that way.
 
A cat joke
Mom. Molly was a goldfish.
Humans should understand each moment passes away forever. It's gone. There's no way to enter the past.
 
The past is like water disappearing down the toilet with Molly. She's gone to some unknown unknowable place.
 
A better place for Molly? Perhaps.
