All the post about variable lengths depending on form or length of time to produce etc may have some valid arguments. The problem are the practical issues of determining these things.

Of, this is "really" a comic book, because its funny, but the author did have minor children when he died and the work took 6 years to write and 8 years after that till it was published. Taking into account that the authors birthday was during a full moon with jupiter rising... the copyright for this work will hence expire.... [Cray computer working]...

We don't want copyright law to become more complicated than the US tax law. No, a single fixed duration for any type of work that a copyright protects is the best choice. That much we should not change.
