In voluntary response to a request by attorneys claiming to represent Volkswagen of America Incorporated, we have removed the VW® Bug® and Pill Bug® images that they feel misrepresent the legitimate corporate interests of their client.
Sadly, we will also be temporarily (and perhaps permanently) unable to honor orders for either the VW® Bug® picture, a classic VW®Beetle® made entirely of insects, or our brand new, limited edition Pill Bug®, a similar drawing comprised of pharmaceutical products. In addition, we will for the time being be unable to distribute copies of our new DS Art Coffee Table Book, since it contains the VW® Bug® image mentioned above. (While we have been instructed to tear the Bug® pages out of our books, and turn them over to the attorneys forthwith, we hope that we can avoid this rather violent alternative.)...
All this for a drawing? Is this a hoax? I mean, what's the deal with Herbie then?
