“Feels good, man,” was the original catchphrase of Pepe the Frog, a comic strip character that grew into an internet meme and was later co-opted by white supremacists—to the dismay of the character's creator Matt Furie.

But Furie might now be sharing the frog's outlook, after a team from Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr used copyright law to halt distribution of a controversial children's book that reportedly pushed anti-Islamic and white nationalist viewpoints.

Representing Furie pro bono, Wilmer's Louis Tompros and Don Steinberg secured a settlement on Monday with Eric Hauser, a former Dallas-area assistant principal who authored and self-published the children's book at the heart of the conflict—”The Adventures of Pepe and Pede.” The book featured a frog character named Pepe and a centipede sidekick named Pede, contained allusions to conservative political themes, and had as its primary antagonist a bearded alligator named “Alkah,” according to multiple media reports.
