  • At the turn of the new year, several pieces of classic media entered the public domain, making them free to use by anyone. Some of the best-known characters include the earliest Popeye cartoon, as he appeared in the Thimble Theatre comic strip Gobs of Work.

In 2025, several iconic works will enter the public domain in the United States, including the comic characters Popeye and Tintin, as well as Ernest Hemingway's novel "A Farewell to Arms." This transition means that these works will no longer be under copyright protection, allowing for their free use, adaptation, and distribution by the public. Popeye, created by E.C. Segar, first appeared in 1929, while Tintin, by Hergé, debuted in 1929 as well. Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms," published in 1929, is a poignant narrative set during World War I. The entry of these works into the public domain is anticipated to spark a wave of new creative expressions, adaptations, and interpretations, enriching the cultural landscape with renewed interest and innovation.
