So, if mickey would have been public domain by now (and there’s a strong argument that it is, involving that core rule about retroactive laws…), but Canada hasn’t extended copyright to do the same…when does superman become public domain? That’s a Canadian creation, after all, and it looks to me like DC is phasing the old duffer out now, after one last attempt at wringing some cash out of him.

I remember seeing the “Cyclops Mickey” sometime in the late eighties or early nineties, I believe. No idea where.
