Dell Four Color #67, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
bminor:
I have a Dell four color #67, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
Is Oswald in the public domain? I sauntered over the "what is and what is not public domain" area on DCM and there is a daunting amount of data to thread through.
While my mind begins to digest what I perused upon that area, I thought I would ask here.
If it is indeed PD I will scan it and upload.
Once again I thank DCM for the countless hours of enjoyment in all the books that are presented free here for all to enjoy.
I also thank everyone for sharing here on the forum our love for these crumbling dime masterpieces of Americana.
Yours,
bminor

Hi B,
Many of the Dell4C books have already been scanned but for various reasons they aren't on DCM.
The main being time to check and be sure they are safe.
I quickly checked the Copyright site here and got a result that was new to me -

What that means, heck if I know for sure. It sounds like it 'might' be Ok but until JohnC or Aussie approves it. It's why I personally HATE most of the Dell line for the never ending headache they are to check.

I always thought that Oswald was created by Walt Disney way back in the 1920's.
Pat Powers took Oswald away from Walt, who then went on to create Mickey Mouse.
The following from your link...
Title: Oswald, the lucky rabbit / created by Michael Uslan.
I will await the decision of the moderators before I go any further!

I feel like we had the Oswald discussion at some point, but can't find it and don't recall what the result is. I remember it giving me a headache, though, with a bunch of people and/or companies involved.
Keep in mind that the database only starts at 1978, Yoc, which means that the earliest renewal possible is for 1950, so it's by no means a complete picture of renewals.
Dell4c:
it is scanned so I can upload it if you Ok it. Just let me know
