Suspish- cease and desist Moving

I used to live in Eugene, but now am up in Portland for a school program. Today I was buying a Suspish-fish sticker from a shop up here as a reminder of my time living in Eugene when the owner of the sticker shop informed me that apparently the artist behind Suspish got a cease and desist order from the Eugene PD. Like apparently knocked on their door and everything, like basically saying "If any more pop up, we'll know it was you" and they would get them in big trouble or something. How lame is that? Like, you would think the cops would have anything better to do than take down the artist behind this beloved icon and source of community pride.

Long live Suspish!!

EPD isn’t stopping them from drawing or selling art. It’s only basic logic that some people won’t appreciate the fish on their property.

Wild idea, but maybe they could ask permission before doing there their art? Consent is sexy.

Edit: typo

tl;dr: "I am an edgy 12 year old"

That'd be a great point, if only you were paying for the damage you did to others property, instead of encouraging someone else to pay for the damage you did.

Don't like "public spaces" (lol, no it's not) private spaces turning into billboards? Buy the space yourself and prevent it.

You’ve never done that.
