Here are the scans of the Mickey comic in the Boston Globe and New York Times.
The journalist at the Boston Globe had interviewed me for quotes to accompany my comic in today’s issue, but only four words of the interview made the cut. I’ve included the entire interview here, so you can get some insight into my opinions about the Eldred v. Ashcroft case and my motivation for making the comic…
Eric Eldred lost, and we all lose with him. This makes Mickey Mouse mad (90k JPG).
Note: The source image comes from issue #103 of Gold Key Mickey Mouse, a Disney comic book from October 1965. It was posted to Usenet in alt.binaries.pictures.comics.reposts: unavailable print media, scanned and permanently archived by and for comic book enthusiasts. And, thanks to our brutal copyright law, entirely illegal.
Update: The New York Times is publishing my cartoon in this Saturday’s “Arts & Ideas” section and the Boston Globe is running it in the “Ideas” section of their Sunday edition, along with (possibly) a brief interview. Hello, literate people of the East Coast!
