    into public domain earlier this year.

    It is admittedly a good sign that Mickey Mouse
    is now in public domain, despite Disney Company's
    contrary wishes. The Copyright lasted for 95 years.

    However,remember that many things are going quite
    crazy now. Disney has banned at least two Don Rosa
    comics:

    A couple of weeks ago I heard that one Carl Barks
    story is banned, too. That story involves some kind
    of a zombie.

    And don't forget to wear your aluminum foil hat to
    protect from those alien mind probes! And even
    more important, aluminum foil underwear to prevent those alien port probes too!

    Did you follow the link I posted? Disney company has
    banned two of Don Rosa's comics stories, refusing to
    release them ever again. Carl Barks, the duck master,
    has suffered a similar fate.

    The Woke folks now ban movies, music and comics. It
    does not stop here.
