The 1920's Mickey Mouse has two black Pac-Man for eyes.Anybody else notice this? And how come Disney didn't sue NAMCO during the 1980's?

Because it's a ridiculous claim. Drawing eyes like that was done long before Mickey Mouse existed.

I thought Disney tried to sue everybody. Didn't US govt more or less extend the amount of time you can protect your stuff by copyright thanks to Disney?

1920's Mickey Mouse was 1920's Felix the Cat with different ears, as were all cartoon stars of the time. Why didn't Otto Mesmer sue the world?!?
