Wendy is cute.
She's cute!
CUTE!
I really think she's a good character for a reboot. I wish they gave me the task of designing a new series. I'd make it so good!
Wendy the Good Little Witch
Agree, because factually it is true, but howeverest, you bringing it up, out of nowhere and unprompted, makes me think you're a wee bit weird.
Requesting Wendy showing off her feet.
I'm not just a bit weird, I'm very weird, but also I'm very creative and smart.
Plus I'm a good person (so says my wife, and she has shown me exactly why she considers me so) and thanks to that I like myself and I like myself now, so I'm okay with being weird.
AQOEC?
Footfags are the worst
Cute
I hate how Southern Baptists killed this cartoon.
She's apparently public domain, but Im sadly certain that wont motivate many to do her character some justice. The Harveytoons in general are sorely neglected. In a day and age where they cant get Casper right, let alone Little Lotta or Dot, what chance does poor little Wendy have?
I doubt it. If she's public domain then Casper and Richie Rich must be too
Her first appereance seems to be, not sure about the verion in OPs pic.
Casper is but not Richie.
She's not public domain.
Casper issues 1 through 5 along with Casper the Friendly Ghost issues 7 through 53 havent been renewed. She's defacto public domain. The bigger issue is Harvey is a dead brand and Universal doesnt give a ratshit about these chracters, hence they havent been alive in the public conscious since the late 90's.

What better time to start making content about them.

That only means those issues can be re-printed by anyone. The character itself can't be freely used.
Just like Mikey Mouse, the first two shorts are free to use and the mouse as it's shown in those shorts can be used, but a general depiction of him can't be freely used.
In the 1995 movie, the character Kat Harvey was originally called Wendy. They changed her name and adjusted the script to make her into a totally new character when they couldn't negotiate the rights.
This doesn't look okay...
CASPER'S BITCH
BITCH APPROVED
Aubrey? Casper?
Aubrey
Anon her first appearance was in issue 20 of Casper the friendly ghost. The moment the first appearance of any given character lapses, they're free to use. What the hell are you talking about?
but a general depiction of him can't be freely used.
Yes it can, so long as its based exclusively off or derivative of his 1928 and 1929 appearances.
Audrey. Her name is Audrey. She was a seperate Harvey character. She is also public domain. So too is Baby Huey.
I did actually come up with an idea of what to do with Casper before I knew Wendy had lapsed. Let me know if you'd like me to share it.

The first 15 Mickey shorts and also The Mad Doctor. Keep up anon.
Wendy get ipad
Casper get ipad
Someone draw Wendy curb stomping Anons head with steel toed boots.

That's what I said.
And no, you can't just use Wendy. Not even Universal could in the 90s. Not for free.
Wanna make a remake of her first comics? Go ahead.
But the 1995 movie wasn't that, and any new show is gonna have to pay for the rights, unless they make a show which is derivative of the free comics only.

Do you recognize how contradictory you sound right now? You're flat out wrong. If you can use first appearance Wendy you can just tell whatever story you'd like with her. It's the same deal with Mickey Mouse, hence the deluge of horror reimaginings and vidya projects. And Universal did end up using her in the DTV sequel. I have no idea where you're getting all this from.

Only if she's depicted as in the first comics, and the setting is derivative of those comics.
Every character from that company looks almost exactly the same except with different hair. It's like Casper is the standard template that they build all their characters from. Wendy has blonde hair and a red robe. Richie has blonde hair and shorts, Hot Stuff is red with horns etc...
So were Harveytoons sort of the 1940s precursor to family friendly goth stuff with typical horror monsters being cute friendly characters? Before Munsters and everything Tim Burton ever made?
Really easy to make merch for Im guessing.
what is transformative use?
In United States copyright law, transformative use or transformation is a type of fair use that builds on a copyrighted work in a different manner or for a different purpose from the original, and thus does not infringe its holder's copyright
I wish somebody would reprint the harvey library again. I know darkhorse did it back in the day but those volumes are rare and expensive now.
It's exactly the same thing as Munsters and by the same people, Universal. They owned the original monster movies from the 1930s and have been using them as mascots ever since. So they occasionally roll out Frankenstein and Dracula etc, and the Harvey label was also their property to sell the same horror characters as smiling kiddy characters in cartoons. That's sort of their thing now to make various media out of ghosts, witches, and vampires.
What you think she's wearing under the red onesey?
Easier to draw?
Please someone storytime Casper and the Spectrals?
Is the hat just a hood?
Can she take it off without ir hanging behind her neck?
