Kyle Baker character stolen by Craig Ferguson?

For some reason, Craig Ferguson, a very funny person in his own right, has allegedly appropriated the work of Kyle Baker, the funniest man in the world. You can see the evidence at http://myspace.com/ghostchimpmd and at YouTube.

Kyle developed the idea when he was working at Warner Bros. in the early 1990s.

Bob Morales, a frequent Baker collaborator said, "Why do they always steal from the African-Americans? First, blues, then jazz, now Ghost Chimp M.D."

More when we hear about it -- and the lawyers weigh in.

Where is the Kyle Baker version? I thought the MySpace site would have some kind of side-by-side evidence.

Try Kyle's blog, Brian.

That link isn't working for me, so Martha emailed me a link to www.thefourthrail.com which talks about Kyle's "Undercover Genie" trade paperback and mentions Kyle's "Ghost Chimp, M.D." back in June of 2003.

Amazing.

Link's working now. Here you go.

Unreal. So what's the next step?
