Lady With Curlers in Slippers

Subject: Help with Graphic
A friend of mine sent me a picture of a large lady with curlers in her hair, silly slippers, a cup of coffee in her hand and the words (may not be exact) "I just want to warn you that I'm in the Snapdragon period of my life. Some of me has lost it's snap and the rest is draggin." I would like to know how you tell if someone's artwork is copyrighted? There was nothing on the graphic and my friend has no idea where it originated. This would be darling on a fridge magnet!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

This sounds like a "Maxine" by Hallmark. I'll do some checking and see if I can find out for sure for you.

Mary,
For one Karen is the expert on this subject. I would say if you are going to use it, use it for you. If you are going to make it for others don't get money for it.
Just be safe & use it "only" for personal use.

Here's the link to the archived post with poems and ideas, unfortuantly the link to the picture doesn't work anymore, but I'm sure I have it in my files, I'll check and come back if I find it.

I found it, but it soesn't have a name of the artist so I would suggest you are careful and on;y use it for personal use and not to sell.
