Georgia Requires Fig Leaves

Gordon Lee, a comic book shop owner in Rome, Georgia is going on trial this week for supposedly distributing lewd images to minors. He gave away free comic books at a Halloween event in 2004 and in the assortment were a few copies of “Alternative Comics #2”, which included an apparently historically accurate story about Pablo Picasso, including the cubist master in the buff. Mr. Lee has apologized numerous times for his mistake, but to no avail.

Fortunately for Mr. Lee, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has picked up the $80,000 his defense has cost so far and will be paying the expected additional $20,000. Remind me to stop by their booth next year at San Diego Comic Con and give them a hug and a donation.

Oh, and WARNING: The first link contains the offending image of Picasso’s wang. Don’t click if you have an issue with historically accurate comic wangs.

  1. Ah, yes. These are the times it’s embarassing to live in Georgia. We have crazy people trying to take Harry Potter all the way to the Supreme Court. We have kids thrown in jail for having sex with other kids. And we charge comic store owners for indecency.

    Yeah. It can be a bit challenging to live around here.

  2. Hey, I grew up in East Tennessee, the buckle of the bible belt. I totally understand.

    This is why I love Blu! Bwahahahaha. Seriously, what is with the rampant dumbfuckery?
