I don’t really either. Mickey mouse is now PD, and I assume the other guy (no idea who he is) is too? And daffy duck, someone else and James bond will also become PD soon. Mickey with gloves is still copyrighted, so he can’t wear the gloves.
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.)
I don’t get it 😓

The other guy is the main character of the artist’s comic. He’s just visiting the land of public domain.
Or he is directly publishing his comics into the PD

Who’s gonna stop me?
Mickey Mouse himself. I heard he’s like a ruthless mafia boss.
