But, someday it will enter the public domain. At that point we will see if it remains so pristine.

It will be past 2060. Chances are, by then, the mainstream won't care. Do you still care about Little Nemo, Yellow Kid, the Spirit...? The few names from Golden age strips that you actually care about (Flash Gordon, Tarzan...) had already been exploited well before the time IP expiration entered the picture.

The mainstream has a very short memory.
