I thought the incredibly odd specific rules for public domain Mickey is that for now he has to be in black and white and silent. Larsen is playing with comedic fire!

There’s some posters and the like that are in color from that time, iirc, but mostly I would say this clearly falls under fair use via parody

He doesn't have to be silent, he just can't use the Mickey voice.

I think that's the absolute last thing DC would want to do right now, seeing as most of their big hitters will be aging out of copyright in the next few years. They'd just be begging for retaliation.

I can definitely see some cheesy Cinemax After Dark-ish/Hallmark Prince Needs to be Married Movie mashups coming out of him, unless Marvel makes the claim that the horndog aspect of his character was a later addition, and even then you still do have the opportunity for the whole prince of Atlantis needs a bride story.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:he's huge, she's short. but they've been married for years (savage dragon runs on real time) and have a bunch of kids. Nah it’s not just that. Even in relation to other humans in the comic Maxine has frequently (but not always) looked uncomfortably childlike. It’s why I hesitate to recommend the comic book to many folks. It has a very anime-esque dynamic in that recommending it often has a “no really it’s very good if you just kinda ignore the really creepy parts” thing going on. Which is not great.

CharlestheHammer posted:Everything I’ve seen about savage dragon just makes it look like your typical edgy 90s comic. Which to be fair is what it is I highly recommend it if you haven't tried it! It really goes through all sorts of cool eras and styles. A lot of it is even wholesome! Around issue 75 it does a Kamandi homage where Dragon is now in a desolate alternate Earth, lots of cool riffs and using classic motifs. A bit like Invincible before Invincible, but more varied in content and style. There's a bit where he pays homage to Calvin & Hobbes and has a kind of comic strip style bit while Dragon (senior), Jennifer, their daughter Angel, and the funny little alien menace Mr Glum live together, around issue 100 I think. That bit where Mr Glum keeps threatening to kill Dragon to me is kind of like a much more funny version of what they go for in early Stewie in Family Guy, this was the 90s, anyway really funny and touching too. Mr Glum, Angel, they all evolved over the years. The comic is set in real time, so everyone grows up, dies, stuff like that. In the beginning it's like a faster-paced more coherent run of Spider-Man or Batman, with the fun subplots and gang fighting antics, and the cool soap opera stuff, all with a great sense of humor. He joins a superteam, he does this and that, pretty much everything I can imagine in a classic superhero life story run, Erik has done it. It mostly gets talked about in recent years when something kooky or lewd happens, but more often than not, when you're not hearing about it, it's just a really good superhero comic with great creativity and slice of life stuff. I just watched that movie American Splendor, and Comic Book Confidential, and it's funny, I think Savage Dragon is kind of my American Splendor. Edgy is like Mark Millar. Dragon does irreverent stuff like say Lloyd Kaufman would sure, but it does a whole lot as well and has a positive spirit to it more often than not.

I wonder how Bill Watterson feels about the homage Savage Dragon did. Iirc, the guy really doesn’t care for superhero comics, especially the 90s stuff that Savage Dragon is rooted in

Yeah I've seen lots of one star reviews which are completely unhelpful. Usually just things like "doesn't work" or "I got the wrong thing", well the first is usually a skill issue and the second isn't a review of the product.
