Cartoonist. I draw a pudding cat and I draw Popeye for Sundays. He/Him. Opinions are my own, and probably very grumpy.

Reminder that during the Segar run Popeye once, without hesitation, put on a dress to comfort an orphan so she'd feel like a mom AND then proudly beat the crap out of the man who'd been keeping her as forced labor while still in said dress. 1932.

Just a reminder, it's the Mickey shorts from 1928 that will be in the public domain. THAT version of Mickey. The trademarks and later versions will still be protected by IP law.
Something almost no "news" source is covering. Dreading some of the "I didn't know" lawsuits ahead.
With Mickey Mouse days away from entering the public domain, let's take a look at how much of Disney and its films were built upon that same public domain.
This will not be comprehensive, which is wild.

McDonald's has been working on this shit for decades, just like self checkout kiosks, long before people demanded better pay en masse.

Just my semi-regular reminder that reading someone's work is not the same as having a friendship with them so don't approach a creator in an over-familiar fashion like "joke" insulting them like you're old friends. They don't know you. They owe you no tolerance for that.
