In a “clerical error worthy of a Looney Tunes cartoon“, a court in Naples sent a summons to Tweety, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck ordering them to appear Friday at a copyright infringement trial. This AP story made my day.

“Unfortunately they cannot show up, as they are residents of Disneyland.” - Does that mean that Tweety will also be called to court for unlawful entry?

I guess Mickey, Donald & Tweety Pie are CHARACTER witnesses in the case!

If you see a giant mouse hopping around the judges chambers, you’ll know it’s a kangaroo court.

CHARACTER witnesses, CLASSIC!!!

And Bill, good point. It probably IS a kangaroo court, knowing what kinds of grave clerical errors come out of it!

They should just have Wayne Allwine and Joe Alaskey come in and do the trial in character, record it, and broadcast it for the world to see.

How the heck did Scooby Doo get left out in a copyright infringement toy company? Totally missed oppurtunity…

Some thirty years ago, National Lampoon had an article on Wile E. Coyote’s suit against the ACME corporation for breach of contract, faulty merchandise and bodily injury.
