@gutenberg_org someone said Tintin is coming to public domain too? Maybe the earliest US prints?

@nitinkhanna Yes, that's true, see below:

E. C. Segar, Popeye (in “Gobs of Work” from the Thimble Theatre comic strip)

Hergé (Georges Remi), Tintin (in “Les Aventures de Tintin” from the magazine Le Petit Vingtième)

@gutenberg_org excellent! Time for me to change my profile picture!
@nitinkhanna @gutenberg_org what happened to the 70 years after death rule? Herge died in 1983
@gutenberg_org @proseandpassion capitalism happened.
