Sounds like it might have been a "Tharg's Future Shocks" story from 2000 AD, some of which were written by Alan Moore.

Might've been one of those stories, but not written by Moore, since I've read the collection of his 2000AD works.
I remember this short story, black and white comic (I assumed it was written by Alan Moore, but can't find it in his works) about a man who froze himself getting thawed in the distant future, where corporations rule supreme. The scientists/soldiers are talking about what to do with him since he's old and confused, and end up deciding to kill him (for biomatter?) since he's useless. The last panels reveal the Cruel Twist Ending - he's drawing Mickey Mouse. The "useless" man is Walt Disney himself.
