Click on the comic to see a full-sized image!I think the irony of this comic strip for me is that Disney has planted its flag on most of the characters in it...watch a parade at Disneyland, and you'll see the Disney versions of the Little Mermaid, Snow White, etc. etc. It's strange to think that for most adults under 40 or so Winnie the Pooh is not the creature of those marvelous little drawings by E.H. Shepard in the A.A. Milne books. Instead he and his friends are all creatures of the Disney empire. They have been captured, branded, and set to work.
The endlessly extending copyrights mean that Mickey and his pals will never get the treatment that Disney and Company are extending to Alice in Wonderland or Sleeping Beauty or Mr. Toad or...you name it!
Even imaginary property is subject to robber barons...
