King Features Syndicates owns the rights to the character, with the Fleischer Studios (or whatever is left of it) retaining at least a partial interest. As for as who owns the old cartoons, I'm not sure. I think they might have been owned by Paramount at one time (Paramount distributed the Fleischer films) but it's also possible that a few fell into the public domain. ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
