Copyright status
It would be nice if some of Skuce's work could be used in the article, but I have one query on the subject.
I know that most of Skuce's work is covered by the
copyright law of Canada, under which copyright expired at the end of 2001 for Canadian purposes but is still protected for US purposes until as late as 2046. However, the strips he did in 1927-1928 while he was in New York City are most likely covered by the US
Copyright Act of 1909, which provided for a 28-year term and an optional 28-year renewal. If renewed, under the
copyright law of the United States, by virtue of the
Copyright Term Extension Act, copyright will not expire until 2022-2023. If not renewed, copyright expired in 1955-1956.
