What Jerry states here must be true. I don't favor censorship, but folks need to take a stand.

When I was a computer-coloring consultant for Marvel Comics back in the early 1990s, they sent a book to us to be color separated. It was called The Fool Killer, and it was just trash. I called the production manager at Marvel and said, "You know, I refuse to be associated with something of this nature. It's ugly and upsetting to no good purpose."

The woman at Marvel replied, "Hey; we aren't paying you to criticize our books. We're paying you to color separate them."

So I replied, "Oh, my criticism to you is absolutely free and you'll get the art back by FedEx tomorrow, un-color-sepped."
