seperately.  seperate

I KNOW this is petty, and I know it doesn't matter in the long run, but this word seems to be misspelled more than any other on this board. For the record: sEpArAtE is spelled with two "E"s separated by two "A"s. It isn't that hard to be right. I'll shut up now.

And Jim's teaching has worked for me I now spell separate correctly and have since he first taught it here some time ago

I'm sure at one point in my life I knew how to spell that correctly, but thank you for pointing it out (and I'm being sincere, not sarcastic ... I'm not afraid of being corrected, even on something so simple).  Keep in mind that's no guarantee ("guarantee" - a word I always have trouble with because it never looks right to me) that I'll spell "separate" correctly in the future ... I believe that's one of many words that are "hit-or-miss" with me.  When it comes to "informal" forums such as message boards & blogs, the ideas behind the words are more important than whether or not those words are spelled correctly.

Does this apply to today's comics? or just works before 1978?

It's strange for me to see how big compenies like Marvel and DC renewaling every issue they print

And that would be "renewing", not "renewaling". Since we're correcting spelling today...

Apparently the Moon Girl character has fallen into the public domain... at least according to the statements in this CBR article by two indie web comic authors Johnny Zito and Tony Trov.  As for the original stories/art, I doubt it... unfortunately (from GAC's perspective).

The copyright records are a bit more definitive than any webcomic creator's statement.  That's where I'd start, personally.  I can't think of any court case where a CBR iterview was admitted as valid copyright evidence...

For reference, though, I don't see a renewal on any Moon Girl issue, though I didn't check to see if any individual story was renewed as a "contribution to a periodical."  But anybody who needs to know should do the check themselves, for obvious legal reasons.
