I keep seeing this new use of the term "drip." What does it mean when used like this?

Something sensible and practical that looks good would be less likely to be considered to have "Drip" than like Dr Doom with his cape and hood and grandiose statements.

So this would have been yesterday's page from Conan: The Blood Egg part 2 by John Allison. Pretty good fight scene for an artist who doesn't draw a lot of fight scenes. Unfortunately Allison got hit with a C&D letter from Conan Properties International a few weeks ago and had to take the comic down, even though as far as Allison could tell Conan is in the public domain in the UK. I only have these pages from when they were up on his Patreon as a pdf when he first released the comic. This also means we won't see the final third issue Allison was working on.

There are two possible explanations for this. One is that the internet counts as an international publication, so he has to deal with the super-crazy American Copyright. The other is that the C&D is actually completely illegal, but the company was counting on nobody calling them on it. Both are equally likely.

UK copyright law is mostly speculative until a judge issues a decision (and you've run out of appeals/money). I understand this is the case in many countries.

Elfface posted:There are two possible explanations for this. It's been speculated that, legally, Allison was in the clear it just that CPI's lawyers are bigger than Allison's lawyers and Allison didn't want to fight it anyway. Allison also did a Batman webcomic and an X-man webcomic, which have also been taken down but Allison never mentioned getting any C&D from Marvel or DC. I'm guessing Allison got away with those two because they were both short, 22-page comics so by the time the companies noticed he had already finished and posted them, as well the fact that Disney and Time-Warner are both big enough that they felt it might not be worth legal action. Allison probably was contacted by Marvel and/or DC, but more gently than a legal order, since those are comic companies were CPI just holds and limerences the trademark to Conan. They probably told Allison something to the effect of, " Hey, nice comics, but could you please take them down after a while".

Which I think means, since "The Phoenix On The Sword" was published in December 1932, Allison only needs to sit on the comic until 2027? E: I'm not a big Allison fan but I was enjoying the Conan comic and I actually really liked his one about Kitty Pryde and Wolverine Phy fucked around with this message at 16:44 on May 9, 2024 |

The Conan Doyle estate was constantly pulling this poo poo with Sherlock Holmes trying to force anyone who did anything with the character to pay them even if they weren't actually adapting any stories that were still in copyright.

Yeah, they tried to sue the Enola Holmes people claiming Sherlock is only nice in stories still under copyright, so him not being a dick to his kid sister was a violation.

It's so weird to me that all the Marvel cartoons of that era used lasers instead of real weapons and BTAS had the bad guys firing Tommy guns and regular looking pistols.

I get the Hellfire Club renaming since kids shows from back then (and still now I guess) are so hesitant about saying "hell" but I wonder what the deal is with the Brood.

It never stood out to me until someone pointed it out many years later. Part of it was that I was like 5 when these first started coming out, but at the same time X-Men and Spider-Man both start off with the protagonists fighting giant killer robots so like, why not also have lasers I guess?

My understanding of it is that Batman TAS was able to fight off meddlesome execs more then other shows by pointing at how insanely over the Burton movies were and going, you guys like money right?Dawgstar posted:Apparently BTAS walked a very, very specific line so they could do so that if they'd wavered even a little bit on they would have gotten in trouble. Yeah, constant fighting with the execs, very limited in how they could depict violence and limiting things that they thought a kid might try and emulate.

Dawgstar posted:Apparently BTAS walked a very, very specific line so they could do so that if they'd wavered even a little bit on they would have gotten in trouble. BTAS pushed against the censors all the time. They would put things in with the idea that censors would make them cut that but leave in the stuff the crew actually wanted. Sometimes it backfired and the censors wouldn't notice something that the crew put in specifically to throw out. The first Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn episode had, as written, a line where the Joker says "haven't we been a couple of busy beavers" censors didn't object but the line in the episode is "busy bees" because Timm and Dini thought it was a bit much for a children's cartoon.

The Tick cartoon had real guns too, somehow. There was a Punisher parody called Big Shot who went around machine-gunning things.

Re: BTAS and the censors, in Batman: Animated by Paul Dini & Chip Kidd they gave some insight into it as well as examples of changes they had to make:quote:Some of Batman's greatest conflicts have not been with the Joker or the Riddler, but against a much more excruciating adversary: the censor. Broadcast Standards and Practices (BS&P), ever vigilant to shield America's youth from objectionable program content, closely oversees every script, storyboard, and rough cut, order the omission of action and dialogue they feel is too intesne for the kiddies. Needless to say, theis rarely sits well with the creative staff, chraged with turning out an exciting super hero show week after week. quote:Bruce, the network says it is not their practice to show animal excrement hitting anyone on a children's show. They want us to cut the bat guano landing on Alfred's jacket and send them a fixed version of the episode. quote:Early in the series development a list was made up ob Broadcast Standard and Practices taboos, all of which are lampooned in the accompanying illustration by Bruce Timm. How many network no-no's can you find? (Answers below.) The_Other fucked around with this message at 16:30 on May 11, 2024 |

It would depend on whether "The Phoenix on the Sword" 's copyright was renewed in 1959-1960, as publications prior to 1964 were required to have their copyright renewed sometime after their 27th but before 28 full years from their publication. If they were renewed, another 28 years copyright; if not, straight into the public domain. A quick perusal of the various digitized copyright renewal ledgers out there suggests to me that this never happened (Wikisource sure seems convinced it's Public Domain!), and that indeed all of Howard's original stories are public domain at this point. I do work at the Library of Congress though, maybe I'll slip into the Copyright Office sometime and find out for sure...

To be fair, I think this is mostly showing Batman jumping through a window or throwing people through them than glass breaking in general. There's a scene early in Mask of the Phantasm where they it and a few other things like this just because they could!
