Can I put syndicated popular comic strip on my website

    I have just bought a domain of one of the popular comic strip (exact name)

    Now I have two questions -

    1. Can I put the syndicated comic strip on the page with adsense ? [automatic system]

    2. I have interest in sketching comics. So is it allowable for me to have a comic strip with the similar (little modified than original) name ?

    I would advise not to. Both can be construed as bad faith and you may have a lot of litigation issues later on.

    It would be ok if you are spiritually bankrupt I suppose but I concur with the above poster NO and NO.

    1. Not if you don't want to lose your adsense account and not get paid.

    2. Absolutely not.

    3. You should pick another domain name unless you are looking to get sued.

    Hi,

    I think you need to choose another domain and I hope it is going to be very helpful for you.
