I don't think that is correct. Any text or image material that you
produce is automatically copywritten (is that the right word?) in
your name. The problem is that you must be able to prove that
you created it. Often small comic book artists will seal their
artwork in an envelope and mail it to themselves so that it is
postmarked. Then if there is ever a legal issue with rights they
can produce the sealed and dated envelope for a judge, proving
that the artwork was their own.
I'm no expert on copyright law though, and I have not read the
laws for myself. This is what I heard from a published comic
drawing friend.

Webster's Dictionary (7th edition) says that
OBJECT is derived from the Latin neuter of "obicere", meaning to
throw in the way, to hinder.
ORIENT is derived from the Latin "oriri", to rise, thus [archaic]
LUSTROUS, SPARKLING
Thus, OBJECT-ORIENTED must mean "A glitzy thing that hinders and gets
in the way".
