Some of the Norweigen Groo comics I have from the early 90's (Thanks Ronny!)
are actually a digest of comics called "Humor Paraden." (Humor Parade)
Many of them contain a comic version of the TV show "Married With Children."


My questions is:  Do the actors receive anything or have any rights with
respect to the use of their likenesses?  On the one hand the drawings are
likenesses of characters to whom the actors have no ownership.  On the other
hand, it's the actors' faces.  Is this sort of thing covered in "standard"
contracts?  Thanks -Gary G.
