The Disneyland Memorial Orgy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Disneyland Memorial Orgy is a black and white drawing done by Wally Wood for humorist underground publication The Realist. It was published shortly after Walt Disney's death in 1967. It was commissioned to portray the "memorial" behaviour of the cartoon characters featured in many of the animated films produced by Disney in his life time.

The publication and the author of the drawing were not sued by Disney enterprises, but a company which made and distributed a black light poster of the drawing was driven out of business. [ST's note: and those were the more civilized days. Forget about now!!] The drawing is often used to illustrate certain parts of intellectual property laws in the United States, namely those that permit original works to be partially copied, for satirical or critical goals, but outlaw reproductions made for commercial purposes.

You know, if that were to happen, some rightwing nut would try and sue Disney for allowing their characters to be portrayed that way.
