I searched because i remember a thread of us talking about using CC3 for something other than making maps.
I made a hallway costume character tag. The local sf/f/gaming convention encourages members to wear costumes to the convention that aren't necessarily going to be in the costume contest.
My hallway costume was a chef's coat, a chef hat, an orange spatula with a smiley face, and the below graphic.

Original author of the short story "To Serve Man" was Damon Knight. There are a lot of ebooks of this story out there. It was written in 1950 though - and Mr. Knight is recently deceased as of 2002 - so I really could not hazard to guess at the actual copyright status of the story itself unless I were to contact the copyright office? Hmmmmm...Gears are turning now...
I tried to look through the Copyright registrations for 1950, 1977, and 1978 at

but there are thousands of them - and they are NOT in alphabetical order - but are arranged under some kind of bizarre and confusing catalogue number system. It would take two months and nineteen pots of black coffee to mole through all of them. I even tried to look up the Knight estate so that I could maybe contact his widow - but that fell through. I couldn't find anything.
Something's gotta give - because I know for a fact that there have been about a thousand ebooks from DIFFERENT COMPANIES of this story published - not to mention the oodles of derivative stories, movies, T.V. series, merchandise, creative elements, and parodies that have been made that were based on that story.
My gut feeling is that it is PD, but I am NOT going to bet the bank on it. I'm not in the mood to have to marry a large, muscular, sweaty, tattooed felon, who smells like hot car upholstery, on cellblock "E" at Levinworth Federal Country Club. Besides - I look lousy in white, a viel really wouldn't improve my demeanor, I can't wear pumps because I'm flat footed, a corset would simply kill me - and I've heard that the receptions there suck anyway - because they're always hard pressed to find a good band that doesn't just play the blues - and when they spike the punch, it's usually with lighter fluid and cheap cough syrup. The wedding gifts suck to - I can use the carton of cigarettes, but what am I going to do with a shank, and a guitar made out of match sticks?
Those new cartoons will also likely suck wind anyway - irregardless of Blanc's absence - since all of the vintage Warner Bro's stuff have already been hacked to pieces, diluted, pacified, candy coated, white washed, and maimed horribly on the editorial cutting room floor - in the name of Politically Correct non-violent non-offensiveness - and warm toasty goo-gooness.
A bunch of pablem puking, left wing, itchy eared subversives decided that they would dabble in a bit of censorship via a loud and abrasive mutual whine fest and boo hoo party - because they think that they know what's best for everybody else. Amazing. It's ok for kids in school to read Kapote's "In Cold Blood", or to talk about human sexuality in explicit, colorful terms - but woe unto you if you let a cartoon out of their pre-concieved, overly hyped "Pandora's Box", that shows all the gruesome and gory details of violence involving rubber mallets and A.C.M.E. Rocket Skates...WOW!
I want it on the record that I hate "Dora The Explora", "Blues Clues", "Captain Planet", and all of the other dead pan drivel that in recent history has contributed to our children becoming drool drenched, depthless window lickers. But I digress.
Getting back to the meat of the issue - I'll bet that there is still a lot of material out there ripe for game and product developement that resides in what remains of the picked bones of the public domain - case in point - the "Cthulu" craze. H.P. Lovecraft stuff is really hot right now - and actually his stuff is very unique and fresh from the usual fantasy / sci fi fare, despite it's age. Someone a couple of decades ago rediscovered it and ran with it. Heck - when I was a kid, I never heard of H.P. Lovecraft until all of the Horror flicks based on his writings started flieing out of the theaters and the video stores - namely "Reanimator","The Dunwich Horror", and "From Beyond", as well as a flick loosely based on his mythos called "In The Mouth Of Madness" that was pretty interesting. I'll wager you that there's something else out there buried in the P.D. vault that's just begging for a brand new paint job!
I used CC3 to make... wait for it...
Drum roll, thank you.
