Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The glove joke is that only Steamboat Willie is in the public domain. Wearing the gloves makes him Mickey Mouse, which is why he should absolutely not wear them as his copyright hasn’t expired.
The other doors look like Donald Duck, Superman, and I guess James Bond? I assume their copyright expirations are coming soon—in that order.
Similar to Micky not wearing gloves, Superman wouldn't be able to fly, be vulnerable to kryptonite, wouldn't have heat vision, freeze breath, or the fortress of solitude. Pretty much all the iconic villains would be off limits too.
Yup, not at first. Mickey's gloves are actually a great example as they come into public domain this year as the first film where he wears those comes up next. (IIRC, INAL, don't go violating copyright law based on a comment on the interwebs.)
Who's gonna stop me?
Mickey Mouse himself. I heard he's like a ruthless mafia boss.

Nooooooo!!!! My comment was strictly meant for entertainment! This was not legal advice!
Aaaahhhhhh thanks. Yes I totally forgot that Steamboat Willie was PD now, and about wearing the gloves. Oh well!
