So with the dover boys now being a part of public domain, what are we allowed to do with them? Can we use themes and characters from the short? Or would we have to completely reimagine the characters? I have some webcomics in mind, might use them as side characters for fun.
Dover Boys has been in the public domain for years. Why are you so fucking slowpoke?

You could take the original cartoon, rip out the credits and put in your own name, and sell DVDs of it for money.

When a film becomes public domain, you are allowed to use any elements that were created specifically for that film, including the characters and soundtrack.

Someone did a mock callout post of Dan Backslide yelling about hating the Dover Boys that got self-reblogged a few times with Tom going "Delete this post Dan Backslide!" and it got several hundred thousand notes
