No, I do not expect you to add credits to your own creation. 

You mentioned the reason for that yourself in a parallel posting in this
thread: it has to do with the similarity of a pic to the original, it
has nothing to do with the use of same characters. It was my continually
nagging old lover who falsely imputed the ludicrous "use of same
characters" notion to me.

The other example on the other side of the fence is figletized
Frogsteins that several of my emulators have made in the past. Some of
them have used the same characters and others have not, but that's
totally irrelevant. In all cases of figletized Frogsteins, I do expect a
credit to me (resulting in joint credits or something similar,) exactly
because of the similarity of those pics to the original.

Related, and as I wrote several times in the past, Frogstein is not
really a frog, but a human face on tiny feet, with so little detail that
it resembles a frog, ideal for making cartoons exactly because of its
simplicity/smallness and recognizability at the same time. Positively
not apologizing for not using humble words, I think it and the other
'steins are ingenious constructs (highest payback/investment ratio that
I have ever seen, as someone once wrote, he may have been a gambler 
:-)) I think I will do some little write ups on the 'steins in the next
few days, stay tuned  :-)

That's OK, it gave me an opportunity to further clarify ascii art
copyright issues, this newsgroup and the rest of the world can
definitely use more awareness of it, thanks.
