Veteran B.C. newspaper satirist Dan Murphy drew a funny editorial cartoon the other day. It looks like a $50 bill, except it's for $90,000 and features a picture of Mike Duffy.

We would show it to you here, but Canadian law says that could land us in prison for six months. Murphy's cartoon, you see, caught the attention of the Bank of Canada, which fired off a rocket of a letter demanding that the image be deleted from the website of his Edmonton-based representatives, Artizans.

You have to get permission before reproducing a banknote image, the letter said, and Murphy didn't ask.

"Moreover," it continued, "the bank will not approve requests where the reproduction tarnishes or diminishes the importance of currency to Canadians."

Here's the artist's reaction:

Mind you, the offending cartoon might be findable somewhere on the InternetJust sayin'. Coincidentally, it just might describe "anti-counterfeiting measure #2: should smell like bacon".
