Sparklers!
narfstar:
Where Sparkman and Jim Hardy ever renewed? I think they may have faded away out of memory and never renewed. Anyone want to check?
Yoc:
This is a case where it's easiest for all involved on DCM to say nothing from United Narf.
John has a FAQ on checking PD status that tells people how to check status on their own.
With newspaper strips it's even more complicated!
mr_goldenage (RIP):
I am gathering up Sparkman, Triple Terror, and Mirror Man stories for an anthology or archive over at CB+ anyone want to help me? Those stories cannot and will not be posted here. Email me off-board if interested.

narfstar:
where do you find comic strip renewals? Neither Sparkman or Sparler show up as renewed. I do not know where the list is for strip renewals.
John C:
Heh, heh. A list. How cute.
No, they're "contributions to periodicals," Jim. So, basically, every single strip is listed alphabetically by whoever registered the copyright at the time of renewal. Maybe a pointer from the original copyright holder, if the Copyright clerk was awake that day. Then you get to scour day by day.
And I can't find information either way, and I assume that it's not the case because it'd be insane, but it's a plausible interpretation that a strip (especially with local circulation) that didn't get copyrighted properly might be covered by the newspaper's copyright.
It's icky, basically. Personally, I'd rather try to figure it out through tea leaves.
