1. This image is used in the infobox as an important visual for identification of the subject matter – it will highly benefit the reader’s understanding of the copyright controversy around this character (to compare how the character looked in 1965, before the animated films). Later prints of the books have used the image in the animated films.
2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
3. It does not limit the copyright owner’s rights to market or sell the work in any way – this image very likely no longer appears in print anywhere, because later versions of the book use a different image of the main character.
4. The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the original work.
5. No free or public domain images have been located for this item. It is a non-replaceable image.

Not replaceable.
