There’s a long-running comic strip character soon joining the public domain who’s not a mouse. Tim Tyler’s Luck first appeared in 1928, drawn by Lyman Young (older brother of Chic Young, later known for Blondie). We first see Tim in an orphanage, but he would soon have adventures all over the world. King Features, which renewed its initial copyright, syndicated it to newspapers for decades. Its run finally ended in 1996; copyright to its first strips ends in 17 days. #PublicDomainDayCountdown
