The cover doesn’t matter to me, I am referring to the story itself.
I want to make sure it’s not an updated version.
By looking at the copyright information that’s inside of the book, it seems to be the 1930 version that became public domain this year.
I haven’t listened to all of it, but I am loving it!
I wish he made more.
Mickey Mouse
Oswald the lucky rabbit
Foxy
Piggy
Cubby Bear
Milton Mouse (the villain!)
I’m not just talking about giving them better redesigns, but also in characteristics?
They need to be more looney, in a way, they were at the end of their Schlesinger shorts (before they went with MGM and got those horrible redesigns).
Looney Tunes already have human characters like Elmer, Sam, and Granny, but Bosko and Honey came first!
As music that was made for the feature, it entered the public domain at the same time (being this year for some parts of the world, like the U.S.).
This is for the people that for some reason believe that you can’t public domain works that are still trademark.
Ongoing trademarks are not some sort of “mutant copyright” and the more we can do to get rid of this stigma, the better.
Tarzan - Captain America
While they are different, these two have abilities that the average citizens don’t have, and they do share a similar, being that they are out of touch with civilization, due to huge life changes (Tarzan being taken care of by gorillas, and Steve Rogers being put on ice for a long decades while time goes by).
Bozo the iron man - Iron Man
Debuting in Smash Comics #1 1939, the origin of Bozo is that (what’s next is from pdsh.fandom.com) Dr. Von Thorp, a mad scientist, builds a mighty robot to help him take over the Earth. The doctor sends the iron monster on a crime spree and the police are unable to stop it. After several failed attempts to capture the robot, Hugh Hazzard, a playboy detective, is sent by the police commissioner to stop the mad scientist's creation. Hazzard sees the robot break into a jewelry store, crawls inside of it, and temporarily deactivates it. Von Thorp summons his creation back to him and is surprised when Hazzard emerges from its body. Dr. Von Thorp is arrested and the police decide to dump the robot into the sea with other confiscated weapons. Upon hearing this, Hazzard rushes to the waterfront and rescues the robot from a "watery grave" sneaking it from a police boat and back to his apartment. Dubbing the iron man "Bozo" he uses the doctor's radio control device to make Bozo a crime-fighting tool.
Zeus - Thor
I know that the original Thor is public domain, but I still wanted to use someone else to make his marvel equivalent a little more unique, so I went with Zeus (like I said, a little more unique).
Frankenstein’s Monster - The Hulk
This one was easy to think about. Stan Lee himself said that the Hulk was inspired by the 1931 version of the monster (and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde).
While the 1931 version is still copyrighted until 2027, I figure I can still put an image of the 1931 version alongside him, instead of waiting a few more months. I wonder if Zeus would have trouble fighting Frankenstein’s monster, since throwing (or shooting) thunder at the monster would probably just increase its chances of winning instead of losing.
Doll Man and Doll Girl - Ant Man and The Wasp
Simply put, the duo have the ability to shrink.
The Arrow - Hawkeye
I know that Robin Hood is the “go to” for PD archers, but I decided to go with a lesser known character (I don’t want two characters to be associated with green, and I want to have Frankenstein’s monster with his green skin.)
A “cut the crap” diligent archer who is not afraid putting arrows in the most brutal body parts of his enemies. He was also a U.S. intelligence agent named Ralph Payne.
The Black Orchid (Harvey) - Black Widow
Judy Allen was the partner of Rocky Ford, a private investigator. Unbeknownst to Ford, Allen was secretly a non-powered hero known as Black Orchid. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Allen, Ford was secretly a costumed hero known as Scarlet Nemesis. The two remained oblivious to each others' costumed alter egos.
Welp, that’s it!
What do you think of the team?
Looney Tunes has always utilized whoever and whatever was trending, the first cartoon is called “sinking in the bathtub” (a reference to the song “singin’ in the bathtub”).
But then… people get angry and cringe when someone like Porky becomes a rapper.
I think they look so darn cute!!!
Just look at them!
I love how they look in this style.
Can anyone give me any tips on how?
I’ve never done anything like this before, but I want to do it (and no cutting corners, so nothing should be done with A.I. being the one doing most of the work).

(I don’t want to ruin the emotional moment, but I get the feeling that he excluded Bob Clampett from his speech. Not that I want to believe that, but it’s very likely.)
One of the best singers, in my opinion, he was so versatile, talented, and full of charisma. In other words, a fantastic showman! If only he lived longer, we can only imagine what he would have continued to accomplish, especially knowing what he accomplished in his short life.
Do you have a favorite song of his?
As far as I know, trademark is about avoiding consumer confusion, but there has been so many unofficial versions of Frankenstein’s monster in the shape of movies, toys, costumes, and more.
I don’t think this character is like Mickey Mouse, who the majority of people know who owns the latter (Disney).
There’s a taqueria that has a… let’s just say a character that might describe what they sell.
This is “the chain gang”, and it became public domain this year, but I want to know if the opening music is also from 1930, or if it was added in a later year.
I am not a filmmaker, but if you have read this, I would love to know what you think of it.
