Custom graphic on guitar. Who can do it for me?

There is this awesome Calvin and Hobbes graphic I adore, with them dancing with sunglasses. Is there a way I could get this on my guitar? Does anyone know which companies can help (LGM, ATD)? Thanks for any help!

Check with LGM. Also you can check with Herc ;-)

Are there any legal issues or copyright things to worry about?

Probably not if it's for personal uses.

The artist for Calvin and Hobbes has a copyright on all of his drawings so yes if he wanted to hire a lawer and hunt you down for not paying him royalty fee's to use the image he could.

Chances are slim to none though that he will

actually, in all honesty, Adam is in the clear if he has a guitar with that graphic, the person who applied the graphic would be who could get in trouble, however, as loop holes in the copyright world have it, as long as the artist is not using the actual calvin and hobbes graphic for personal gain, he's fine, all the receipt has to say is, guitar graphics.
But, as you said Brian, first he'd have to find out, then he'd have to care, same as, every one of us who puts an ibanez logo, or cuts a grip or claw into a guitar, is breaking copyright laws, Ibanez just has better things to do
