You can get by, by picking Newspaper comic strips over 32 years old.

That is the copyright limitation rule.

Also there are specific authors that have released their work for public use:
So you can easily use old:
Doonsebury
Beetle Baily
Lil Orphan Annie
Mutt and Jeff
Andy Cap
Blondie
Spiderman (from Newsday in 1970s)
Prince Valient
Heckle and Jekyl
Archie
Casper
here's a great resourse to find stuff that is now available for use (just look for strips before 1987 in NEWSPAPERS not comic books)

Remember you must remove the text. And it becomes a legally a derived work...

I know because I have dealt with lawyers pertaining to this field.

Now, this is knowledge that makes me feel more comfortable entering this contest, which is a really cool one. Thanks for commenting and helping me understand what is legally useable and what is not.

Thanks for the info @richatvns. I know so far I think all the comics I’ve used are scans from the mid 80’s, so that would fall in line.

glad I could help out...

When I run memeday, I'm careful of where and how I pull my base pictures.

Alot of old promotional material is gret sources...

Especially for production companies that went out of business, or personal photos that were distributed without copyrighting.

I always edit it also to make it a derived work, on top ofit.

This information makes me feel comfortable about continuing to join this contest.
