Added 2020-10-16 05:27:30 +0000 UTCThe Evrina Halloween image got me doing some sketches of the first lady of animation herself. They have tried several times to make her relevant again, but it never quite sticks. I have some ideas, but it's basically pointless, even though I think she's technically in the public domain I'm fairly certain the trademark never expires.
Anyway, not important. I hope you enjoy this not related to the comic stuff. I very rarely draw anything without thinking about what I'm going to do to monetize it anymore, so it was nice to just draw Betty because I like her.

Uuugh, I shudder to think what they’ll do with her...

2020-10-22 20:19:10 +0000 UTCThese are an unusual and unique take on Betty's character. It still isn't clear if the Copyright is yet valid, but if the trademark holder has renewed the trademark in the past ten years, it is still valid. The arcane junk I need to know for my new job!

2020-10-16 19:00:18 +0000 UTC" Sometimes intellectual property owners try to assert control via means other than copyright ownership. Recently, the owners of the Betty Boop trademark sued a company that was using the Betty Boop image for commercial purposes. The owners claimed the commercial use of Betty Boop violated their registered trademark. The Ninth Circuit concluded that allowing the owner to assert a trademark infringement claim would prevent the Betty Boop character from ever entering the public domain and would run afoul of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dastar Corp. v. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp., 539 U.S. 23 (2003). " -https://nimia.com/betty-boop-public-domain/ -
