Though I generally enjoy reading it, I think they'd end up having to censor it too often to want to run it. I once asked a friend of mine, who wrote for the DU, why they occasionally censored comics by running old ones. She said that they're really, really careful with anything that could be inappropriate, because every day a copy of the Daily Universe is delivered to the prophet. That's not to say that he reads it every day, but it makes them pretty careful about what they print. And Dinosaur Comics is not always 100% clean.

No... I actually haven't seen that one. Uncultured high school student right here.Fredjikrang wrote:Have you seen Othello? I wouldn't call most of those subtle.
Anyways, back to on topic, so Shakespeare is dirtier than dinosaur comics? The Daily Universe doesn't publish Shakespeare either. (do they?)

Then as Fred pointed out, according to your definitionPlayboy is now artistic.361 wrote: If it's older than 50 years it's not "dirty" its "artistic"
Still taking everything I say seriously...
Mabye I need to start every sentence with an emotional/meaningful qualifier?
Tentatively, this would be a good solution.
Sarcastically, Don't be bashing Playboy... I hear they right very enlightening articles!
Seriously, As time passes things which were audacious and scandelous become common place. I don't think Victoria's Secret ads that are aired on TV now would be accepted 50 years ago... Or do you think that it remains constant over time?
Edit...
In clarification with more sarcasm... The issues of Playboy that are, in fact, 50 years old could be considered art by some I suppose... However... 2008's issue would have to wait until 2059 to qualify.

A better idea would be to look-up some Egyptian middle kingdom pornography. Since the Egyptians believed that they could take everything buried with them to Heaven, or the afterlife, they surely must have kept the best stuff in their tombs.361 wrote: In clarification with more sarcasm...

So no wonder the Pyramids were raided so quickly. They weren't after all that gold, they were after the Pharoah's Playboys.

For even the day before, she broke her brow:
And then my husband--God be with his soul!
A' was a merry man--took up the child:
'Yea,' quoth he, 'dost thou fall upon thy face?
Thou wilt fall backward when thou hast more wit;
Wilt thou not, Jule?' and, by my holidame,
The pretty wretch left crying and said 'Ay.'
-Nurse, Romeo and Juliet
If love be rough with you, be rough with love;
Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down.
Give me a case to put my visage in
-Mercutio, Romeo and Juliet
Most dangerous
Is that temptation that doth goad us on
To sin in loving virtue: never could the strumpet,
With all her double vigour, art and nature,
Once stir my temper; but this virtuous maid
Subdues me quite.

I pray you, is Signior Mountanto returned from the
wars or no?
Messenger
I know none of that name, lady: there was none such
in the army of any sort.
LEONATO
What is he that you ask for, niece?
HERO
My cousin means Signior Benedick of Padua.

Also, I fully support the movement to get rid of Frank and Ernest. Its banal asininity insults me. I can think of several comic strips I would rather read: Apartment 3-G, F-Minus, Doonesbury, Watch Your Head . . .
