The latest story arc for Hey Kids, Comics! kicks in to full
swing as we explore various aspects of how comic books as a medium have been
perceived and how misconceptions have led to difficulties. From 1954’s
Seduction of the Innocent to the decline in attitudes that comics are “just for
kids”, join us for an overview of some trying points in comic book history.

| Hey kids, AHHHHHHHHHHH! |
The birth and fate of the Comics Code Authority is examined
along with the necessity of an organization that is vital to the comic book
retailer. Andrew Farmer is on a temporary hiatus from the show so this
week Cole is joined by a very special guest, Catherine “Mrs. JediCole”
Houston! With her knowledge and insights on the subject at hand she
proves to be the ideal substitute Andy for this compelling issue.

Fund by following this link. This organization fights censorship,
champions the First Amendment Rights of writers, artists, and publishers in the
industry, and most importantly offers legal representation for comic shop
owners persecuted (via legal prosecution) by local government that still looks
upon comics as a children’s medium and comic shops as easy targets.
