Ooooh, this almost would qualify as writerfella's symbol back in the 1970s! Who owns the copyright?

I knew someone who had a TRS-80 computer that belched smoke.
If you really want to know who owns the copyright, check with CartoonStock.com.

writerfella has sent his art symbol to Rob, and its close comparison to the 'cartoon' only readily is apparent. If it gets posted, the rest of you will see what is meant.

Other than the concept of an Indian sitting at a computer, I don't see a big resemblance between the cartoon and the painting. I doubt either party could win a suit for copyright infringement.
I bet people have been doing "smoke signal" cartoons for decades, if not centuries. The first one probably featured smoke signals in the form of Morse Code dots and dashes.
