I don't know about that.
In many people's eyes, Mickey Mouse
is Disney. And after
Air Pirates Funnies, I doubt Disney will stand by and let Mickey fall in to the public domain, where anyone can use the character as they see fit. Especially when the cost to extend the copyright with politicians they already have in their back pocket is likely trivial, to them.
