I recently ran across listings of Marvel & DC issues that fell through the cracks and didn't have their copyrights renewed.

Proof Conan the barbarian is already public domain.

Similar to Tracy, but this one is a bit tough cause the estate is a litigious as hell company, But The Cinnermian is already free too. Based on a deleted post from the Conan fan sub.

Phoneix on the Sword was published in 1932, according to Wikisource which is accurate when it comes to public domain these stories are all in the public domain Due to no renewal. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:Robert_Ervin_Howard

However there is statememts from some people the magazines themselves were renewed which could count, however I dug deeper into this and Wikisource states this when it comes to periodical renewals: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Help:Copyright_renewals#Contributions_to_periodicals

“If the original author died before the renewal year, the contract between them and the publisher ended. Therefore the publisher no longer owned the copyright and was not eligible to register a renewal.”

This is known as unvested non-renewal, in which the magazines or serials lose the rights to the sole contributions of a non work for hire author and don’t have the rights to renew. Robert’s estate would have been the one required to renew, however searching the renewals in 1959 or 1960 yield no renewals for the first story:

https://books.google.com/books?id=lNcgAQAAIAAJ&q=phoenix+#v=onepage&q=phoenix&f=false

https://books.google.com/books?id=TSEhAQAAIAAJ&q=Phoenix#v=onepage&q=Phoenix&f=false

This is a similar case to Lovecrafts stories, which was ruled in court to be already public domain for the same thing in the 1970s.

So as far as I’m aware, Conan the Barbarian is already public domain In the United States as Howard‘s estate never renewed the sole stories, however Conan Enterprises is very litigious so be careful if planning to use him. Also Red Sonja herself is not yet public domain, but Red Sonya is. Some public domain adaptations name the story the cimmerian to avoid lawsuits.

Thoughts?

Use Popeye as new clippy against toxic hazbin haters, it’s okay if you don’t want to.

not really satire, Popeye will eat spinach to protect the hazbin hotel from edgelords.

Disney still 100% owns the Doug character, idk what “murky” rights exist.

Did any of the creators of Benjamin even see this? Idk what “murky rights” exists, Disney still owns 100% of the Doug character according to this. I could be wrong though,

I just saw this movie, it’s weird.

these public domain based horror films are so weird and hit or miss, this one was enjoyable albeit it was more of a in name only horror take, feel free to disagree with me though. Cowardly Lion doesn’t appear likely cause of budget, Glinda is now.. wicked? the writing was cheesy but I liked it, decent kills, but the Tin man looks like a knight for some reason.

I kinda like Pinocchio: Unstrung, Bambi: the Reckoning and Cinderella’s curse better in my opinion. But this is one of the better ones too. If you hate this film, I can respect your opinion.

Character suggestion: Dennis the Menace?

The design would be inspired by both the US and the unrelated UK one and maybe a bit of max and moritz?

Grappler too maybe? idk, this is my first concept/suggestion sorry.

A horror version of Bluto actually makes sense instead of Popeye,

Since the original comic character fell into the public domain in the 1960s before Popeye did mostly due to king features not renewing many of their older strips (they only renewed Popeye for some reason), I read the original 1932 strips and holy shit Bluto was more savage and monsterous in the original Segar run.

He has no feelings for olive oyl, he was a pirate wanting to steal a parrot, he teared gold teeth from his own people and he was very feral.

Honestly, instead of Slayer man, we need a Bluto slasher film, Feel free to disagree but he defintely fits better lol.

Sneak peek to my rant post on my problems with some internet people/some fans misinterpreting Arthur.

These two things from tv tropes are what I will explain my biggest problems in the first two reasons.

I will make the post tonight and my thoughts as an Arthur fan, if you want to disagree that’s okay. Feel free to give ideas in the comments.
