Check out this 10 minute presentation by Nick Bertozzi, creator of graphic novel The Salon, and Charles Brownstein, executive director of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (sd&if is totally thrilled to find out that such an organization actually exists), on why a Georgia law that prohibits the free distribution of “obscene materials” (aka comic books) to minors might actually be unconstitutional.
We snagged the video from this great GalleyCat article. I bet you didn’t know that comic books and graphic novels were among the fastest growing acquisitions for a lot of libraries these days, huh? Look for Ben rejoicing in the comments.
NSFW concerns: The video contains some fleeting images of a cartoon Pablo Picasso painting in the nude and a half-naked model. And we do mean fleeting.
