The copyright on popeye does not expire until 2024, though some individual works may not have had their copyright expired renewed, no proof for work has been presented. TheDJ (talk) 23:03, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The author died in 1938, over 70 years ago, so the copyright has expired. Handige Harrie (talk) 10:31, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
