Fair use in Sylvia (comic strip)

Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale true for Sylvia (comic strip)
Description	Panel by Nicole Hollander
Source	http://www.badgirlchat.com
Article	Sylvia (comic strip)
Portion used	Single image from lengthy series
Low resolution?	Low-rez and greatly reduced
Purpose of use	To identify cartoonist and her work as described in the encyclopedic article. The image is being used in an informational capacity and thus contributes to the article as a whole.
Replaceable?	Irreplaceable
Other information	This illustrates an educational article about a popular comic strip; its inclusion in the article adds significantly to understanding the text because it is a historical sample of the artwork and story situation, and it relates to matters covered in the critical commentary. Therefore the image substantially improves the overall educational value of the article. A single sample panel such as this one does not reveal any significant portion of the overall storyline. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic, which directly concerns a visual art. It is of much lower resolution than the original. Any potential copies made from it would be of very inferior quality unsuitable for any commercial purpose. The image is not used here for profit, and its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder and such use does not decrease the value of the copyright to its holder. It is not in any way replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image pertinent to the article subject, because the whole body of work under discussion is copyrighted.
