Today's Public Domain Character: Garfield

[ID: image of a chubby cartoon cat with large cheeks END ID]

Now, some caveats no the current iteration of Garfield is not public domain, that belongs to Paws Inc (subsidiary of Nickolodeon). However much like with Mickey Mouse the first iteration of Garfield is public domain, shown above.

As you may remember, youtuber Quinton Reviews uncovered a comic strip that predates Garfield called Jon about Jon's life but Garfield was also a character in it.

The scans show that in 1976 these strips were published without copyright notice which prior to 1978 was required for a work to be copyrighted in the United States.

[ID: Comic strip from January 8, 1976. Jon introduces himself and his cat Garfield twice. Jon looks puzzled trying to describe the strip, and Garfield humorously suggests "try turkey" and "feed me. END ID]

Now Garfield is also a trademark so I wouldn't go call your Garfield comic that if you intend to sell it, but you can use Garfield either as he appears here or ya know, make it a jumping off point to redesign him as we've seen people redesign Mickey Mouse.

Update:

Here they are so far!

[ID: A digital drawing of an original character labeled: "Stuffy Bunny, it/its/itself. Red plaid, white sparse floral pattern, black plastic eyes. Filled with canna lily seeds -- heavier than other toys. Given life by a witch who was later mysteriously kidnapped. The toys must go on an adventure to rescue them!". There is a smaller label over the rabbit's head that reads, "1st born". The rabbit stands upright like a teddy bear. One of its ears is solid red plaid, the other is white floral, with red plaid for the inner ear. It has shiny black eyes, one of which is slightly larger than the other, and its head, body, and left leg are white floral fabric, with the right leg except the toe, the right arm, right paw, and its round belly in red plaid. Noticeable stitches mark the transitions between each fabric type. End ID.]

[ID: A digital drawing of an original character that is a stuffed animal, labeled, "Grey Gray, he/him/his/himself". The first Grey is spelled with an E, the second with an A. Another label below reads, "Given life by a witch who was later mysteriously kidnapped. The toys must go on an adventure to rescue them!". Grey Gray is a toy grey fox, with mostly black, grey and white plaid on his face, body, legs, and tail, with highlights of orange plaid for the front of his ears, on his shoulders, paws, and outlining his tail. His nose, chin, and the backs of his legs is white with a sprinkle pattern. His eyes are turquoise buttons with threads of black forming eyelashes. One drawing shows his face from the front, also labeled, "2nd born", the other drawing shows his whole body from the side. End ID.]

[ID: A digital drawing of an original character that is a stuffed animal, labeled, "Yvain, ot/ots/otself", with another label below reading, "Given life by a witch who was later mysteriously kidnapped. The toys must go on an adventure to rescue them!". Yvain is a toy otter, with bright yellow and orange webbed feet, and most of ots body covered in brown fabric with a floral pattern of pink, red, and black flowers. Under ots chin is a patch of white with black spots. Ots eyes are small, shiny, and black. Ot is labeled "3rd born" above ots head, with one drawing showing ots face from the front, the other showing ots full body from the side. End ID.]

[ID: A digital drawing of an original character that is a stuffed animal, labeled, "Reyna Ringtail, they/them/their/themself", with another label below reading, "Given life by a witch who was later mysteriously kidnapped. The toys must go on an adventure to rescue them!". Reyna is a toy ring-tailed lemur, with mostly grey fabric with a pattern of rainbow sprinkles, with white paws, belly, and face, with black diamonds around the eyes and mouth, and a long tail with stripes of black plaid and blank white. The eyes are bright orange with black pupils. They are labeled, "4th born", and are posed as though jumping through the air while turning to smile at the camera. End ID.]

[ID: A digital drawing of an original character that is a stuffed animal, labeled, "Lyre Liger, heshi/himer/hizer/himerself", with another caption below reading, "Rescued from the trash and given life by the witch! Is terrified of bio-dogs.". Lyre is a stuffed lion, drawn first showing hizer face from the front, and then hizer whole body from the side. Heshi has one eye shiny plain black, the other is sparkly pink with a black pupil. Around the pink eye is green plaid fabric, with the rest of hizer face, and one round ear with pink on the inside solid tan. The other ear is pointed and has orange and black tiger stripes, with green plaid on the inside. Hizer head is surrounded by a short-cropped red-brown mane, with another patch of green plaid on the back, and more tiger stripes. Most of hizer torso is tiger striped, with one patch of tan near hizer neck. The front right leg is green, the left tan, with the opposite arrangement for the back legs. The tail is green at the base, then tan, with a tuft of the same red-brown as the mane. End ID.]

And last one for now:

[ID: A digital drawing of an original character that is a fabric babydoll, labeled, "No Name, she/her/hers/herself", with another caption below reading, "Rescued from the trash and given life by the witch.". No Name is mostly made of soft fabric, with tan plastic for the neck, feet, and the one remaining hand. The simple torso, arms, legs, and head are made of a white fabric with lighter grey stripes, and sunflowers. In the center of her chest is a heart with a peach fabric with red simple flowers, with another stripe of this material on her right leg. Noticeable stitching marks where each fabric meets another. Attached to her back is a peice of fabric that lies out behind her like a little blanket that is tan with strawberries. Her eyes are made of buttons, one magenta, the other dark purple. She has a happy smile made of black thread. End ID.]

The witch does not have a design yet. If I were to animate this (I don'tk now how, lol), I would have it so that we never see the witch's face, only their hands, legs, clothes, ect.

Something something we only know them from how they interact with their beloved and loving creations something something.

another public domain character who uses it/its pronouns.

Haven't decided on a name....drawn at 1AM.

It's trans in every way. All of them. At the same time. This character is designed to be much shorter than is the norm for its species, whether that's in a universe with talking animals or aliens, or as a cyberfurry.

[ID: A simple, symetrical digital drawing of an anthropomorphic bat character wearing black and white striped overalls over a pink and blue striped shirt. The bat has mostly yellow fur on its face and arms, with brown on top of its head and ears, and blue speckles where the short sleeves of its shirt are. Its simple flat feet are brown with yellow toes. It has its wings open, showing five fingers, one of which curves down and back, holding the membrane of the wing open, with smaller webs between the other fingers. The wing membrane is blue, with yellow along the bottom edge, and three yellow dots following each fold as decoration. Smaller drawings down the sides show that the longer finger can fold flat back against the arm to collapse the wing until it is almost invisible. Its eyes are large and brown, and its nose is pointed and light orange, as are part of the insides of its ears, which have a design of a half circle followed by two curved lines, like echoes. There are small white buttons on the tops of its sleeves. It smiles at the camera. End ID.]

before I forget: the shirt has buttons on the tops of the sleeves, and then the bottom part just hangs loose and follows gravity. The sides are open to accommodate the wing membrane, and just gets tucked into the pants or a belt or something, which in this case is overalls.

I think one of the more unfortunate consequences to creators being more interactive with fans is that a lot of fans/fandoms normalized this idea that creators have to explain/validate every headcanon they have.
