Rights to Harvey Characters Change Hands Again

It is official, Comcast has bought DreamWorks:

Comcast buys DreamWorks Animation in $3.8 billion deal

While most of the articles on the acquisition are focusing on DreamWorks characters Shrek and Kung-Fu Panda, this will also affect our beloved Harvey characters. DreamWorks had bought Classic Media back in 2012, and Classic Media owned the rights to the characters at the time:

Time will tell what lies in store for our Harvey friends. DreamWorks did not do much with the rights, except for the ill-fated live-action Richie Rich show on Netflix. Hopefully Comcast will do better!
