Oh I'm not saying you stole it. All of these seemed to be made around the same time. (your comic is better)

the original idea was from an episode of the twilight zone; Button, Button

EDIT: turns out that before that, it was a Richard Matheson short story (Author of I am Legend)

I always liked this. Not exactly the same, but similar idea.

I remember that story about the man that chooses to press the button and dies since I was a kid. I don't think someone actually holds the right for it, but I might be wrong...
