B-movie horror Popeye would be fuckin dope.
But with no spinach
I'm ready with my unauthorized sequel "A farewell to legs'" by Eddie Hamonbone. It continues with Frederick walking in the rain when suddenly aliens appear and his wacky journey is just beginning.
thank god disney has not gotten away with extending these laws any further. they need to be returned to 20 years.
What I don't understand about this is why it matters if it's just the USA.
Tintin is Belgian. So almost certainly published there first and covered under their copyright law. I've no idea what that is but just because it expires in the USA can't mean it's just an intentional free-for-all.
Wouldn't the work still be covered in Belgium and any reuse anywhere would leave people liable to legal action there?
You're gonna love it when you read about the events leading to Hollywood's founding...
