FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for January 25, 2024

Steamboat Willie is indeed in the public domain. It happened recently.

Ashcroft, 537 U.S. 186 (2003), was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States upholding the constitutionality of the 1998 Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA). (Wikipedia so it must be true).

I’m gonna stick like glue, stick because I’m stuck on you

Should be fine even under copyright law — he looks move like a samurai vampire than like Mickey Mouse.

The prophecy has been fulfilled

Good news, Jason…

We know who the real pinhead is

Comes true 20 years later.

Well, this is a weirdly relevant ghost from the past.

appropriate time for this comic to be reposted, considering Steamboat Willy DID go public domain just over 3 weeks ago

This aged incredibly well

This is so hilarious now with steamboat willie actually becoming public domain

All of the timeliness of today’s comic shows how much we need NEW DAILY Foxtrot stories! Most everyone of you thought that today was new and you LIKED the idea.

The break is over Bill. Time to get back to work! Time for Foxtrot 2.0!

Great timing, seeing how it finally did enter the public domain less than a month ago.

I wonder if she was successful in stalling on the phone for 20 years

Jason Fox – Time-Traveler…

Don’t worry Jason, all you need to do is wait for Bill Amend to go into six-day-a-week retirement and rerun his daily strips. Then cycle through the reruns twice and you’ll get the last laugh in a very timely fashion.

On the other hand, a strip about the Supreme Court siding with grasping, avaricious tyrants is pretty much evergreen.

He was ahead of his time.

Has this cartoon been hidden for many years?

Ladies and gentlemen… JASON FOX!! Incredibly intelligent, and yet remarkably stupid!!

Wouldn’t that be a TREADEmark issue, not COPYright?
