Child sees drawings of a naked man, world miraculously continues to turn on its axis
From Tom Spurgeon's "The Comics Reporter" site:
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has taken on a new case, this one defending Rome, Georgia retailer Gordon Lee on a charge of "distributing material depicting nudity" and a charge of "distributing obscene material to a minor." The charges are a result of a Halloween night giveaway at the store Legends where Lee mistakenly gave a minor a copy of Alternative Comics Free Comic Book Day effort Alternative Comics #2. That book contained three pages of male nudity in an excerpt of Nick Bertozzi's "The Salon."
Spurgeon's full report can be seen here.
This article on the Newsarama site contains more information.
Alternative Comics publisher Jeff Mason believes these are the panels in question.
Finally, here is a link to the CBLDF site, where you can learn more about the organization and/or make a donation.

Oh, for fuck's sake!
That reminds me, I need to donate to the CBLDF again...

Edmonton dominated the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night and the 4-0 margin in Game 6 makes it hard to imagine the Oilers not hoisting hockey's Holy Grail above their heads in less than 48 hours. And it would not come as any shock to see defenseman Chris Pronger, who had another 31-minute night, take the honors for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.
