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.

‪a few chapters into sunrise on the reaping and the conclusion I’m coming to is that while katniss keeps *a lot* to herself, 16 year-old haymitch was a chronic oversharer. he dropped in ONE chapter more of the entire district’s lore than she did in 3 books

Do you know this queer character?

Castiel is Queer and Agender or Genderfluid, and uses varying pronouns based on presentation!

[winterseve00]

This is my sketch of spring heel'd jack. Originally an urban legend of Victorian London. Reports of people who were accosted by a shadowy figure who could leap over them. Caught the imagination of the public, followed by a music hall play and a run of stories in the penny dreadfuls...

At the Dressing Table

[rjalker]

Random parts from my dream:

Part.....2?

The mom: Oh, yeah, I've known who your soulmate was since you were 13, lol, you just didn't notice the message written in the clouds.

[the person who's just met their soulmate for the first time paraphrasded in the ether: and you didn't bother to tell me???]

The husband, cheerfully: Yeah, I think he'll have something to tell you that I forgot.

[the person who just met their soulmate paraphrased in the ether: Why aren't you upset about this????]

[the husband paraphrased in the ether: because we chose to get married and I know we actually love eachother. a soulmate bond can't even try to compete with that.]

It was a world where soulmates were a thing and forever ago before written history people had figured out that you could easily break a soulmate bond by just. aborting the baby it produced. and then the Magic Eugenics God™ would go ewwwwwwwwww you had a misscariage you're unfit to be in my breeding program get outta here!!!

and then in the future they invented medicine you could just take to simulate an abortion/miscarriage so no one actually had to get pregnant. If you found your soulmate you could just take the meds and instantly break the bond before any bullshit happened.

then there was stuff about Flatland I mostly forget...I think A Sphere and A Square went on a picnic...

___

Part...1?

there were 3 rings that were used to create portals to three other worlds. One was called White As Death and had a symbol of a bone. It opened a portal to The Death Zone. Another one was...okay I just forgot what it was called but it was red and had a symbol of a cloud. It went to The Twilight Realm. The last one I didn't learn the name, but it was green and had a symbol of a snake that looked like the number 2. I have no clue where it went.

The Death Zone was where ghosts and other souls of the living went after death. The Twilight Realm was I think an endless dungeon thing. if you ever found the sky it was always pink and purple and cloudy which is where it got its name.

To open a portal, you had to have all three rings, worn by three different people, and you had to use them to trace the same shape in the air that would become the portal. Whichever ring you used last would determine your destination.

The portal making thing wasn't going well because the people were failing to communicate properly and the first time thy made the portal too small for anyone to actually fit through. Then they got in a tent and made the portal by tracing along the doorway. Then they all grabbed the tent and ran through the portal, which flipped it inside out and....successfully closed the portal behind them???

very weird.

___

And then there was this guy, Riowolf, or to his friends, Rioruff. A trans man who was kidnapped by the government and experimented on in a secret evil lab into a partially-transformed werecatwolf (the government wanted 'the best traits of cats and wolves combined with Human Intellect™') before they tossed him back out onto the street. A common problem in this setting, with varying results. The government has not suceeded in making a full werecatwolf (or werecat, or werewolf) yet but they don't care how many people they have to torture to make one.

being bitten by one does not let you become one. yet.

His ear normally stands fully upright but I made the canvas too short. this is supposed to be expressionless since it's just a character reference.

[ID: A simple digital drawing of an original character. In the center top of the image is his face, in the lower left and right are a very simply drawn version of his full body, flipped to show his front and back. The left half of his face (which is on his right) is light pink, with darker red-pink burn marks on his forehead, over his eye, and his mouth, with this eye closed, drooping to the left. His mouth also droops to the left. The other half of his face is covered in black fur, with a tall pointed ear, a grey nose, and whiskers. His eye on this side has dark sclera, a large round pupil, and a red iris. The black fur continues down half of his body and includes a long tail, with a red double-spike at the end. On his wrists and ankles are grey, red, and grey stripes. He wears no clothes,and the human half of his body is simple pink blobs in the shape of an arm and leg. On the werecatwolf side, he has a digitigrade leg and a paw, both with sharp claws. End ID.]

with extra text and also his clothes

[ID: The same drawing above, but now Riowolf is wearing a red short-sleeved shirt under a denim jacket with tattered edges, and grey jeans with ripped edges. On the werecatwolf side, the jeans have been cut at the knee. The front of the jacket is covered in many small black pins, with text reading, "assorted other pins", "he/him pronoun pin (trans man). On the back is a black symbold of scratches left by claws. An arrow points at his closed eye, labeling it, "blind in this eye". Smaller text above his angled ear on the face closeup reads, "not mad the canvas is just too short". In the upper left corner, text reads, "July 22 2024, public domain, Riowolf or to friends Rioruff". End ID.]

He's a punk anarchist. He lives in a time when there's either nuclear winter, or just on a completely separate planet where there's constant cloud cover making it "permenant night". Cities are enclosed and kept heated by some sort of thing with wind. certain parts of the city would always have lights on for visitors from other cities, others would switch on and off to simulate day and night cycles.

Here's what the end of his tail looks like. Not really sure what you call this shape.

[ID: an MS Paint scribble of Riowolf's tail, which is solid black except for the end, where there is a large red double-spike, like a flattened bolt of lightning, or the letter N mirrored onto itself. End ID.]

I think they were transforming people by dunking them into giant chemical vats. It wasn't very clear though.

You can see the speedpaint of me drawing him, as long as the HD versions of the art above to download here on the Internet Archive:
