Mickey and Minnie without gloves are free. I imagine any depiction with oversized white gloves will be sued.

Well, Mickey does. The comic looks to be missing Minnie's top too

Don't get me wrong, it's great that Disney via the government has stopped fucking us out of our culture. But we're talking about 100+ year old cartoons. So yeah, Disney won.
