Someone else in that thread claims to have seen the whole episode and no credit was given. I'd be willing to bet someone at an overseas animation sweatshop is the culprit.
Sadly, I've seen this sort of thing happen before too. There's a SciFi channel movie where some fantasy artwork is seen on the wall of someone's lab. It seems someone involved with that production simply downloaded images from the website they were created for, and printed them out. No credit or compensation was given at all.
Say there's an episode of a TV show where a cop walks into the bedroom of a comics collector and posted on the wall is a reproductive print of the cover for Action Comics #1.
Do you think the station or the TV show's production company should be obligated to give Joe Shuster some kind of shout out in the credits?
