Am I the only one to think that this cartoon isn’t on the public domain? I looked on YouTube for the full episode to see and it’s not on there. There’s only clips of it so like most non public domain shorts on YouTube, this shirt must’ve been copyrighted. The IT 15 (talk) 21:00, September 8, 2020 (UTC)

It has been copyrighted in 1968 by Seven Arts. I found it on the US Copyright Database. Best! :) Orange Mo (talk) 01:32, September 9, 2020 (UTC)
I went through some of the black and white ones that were "believed to be in the public domian" and turns out Warner copyrighted quite a bit of them in 1968. I'm not sure if that was allowed since before it was a 28-year period, but they may have gotten an exemption for recent changes in ownership from Seven Arts, which was absorbed by Warner in 1966.
