Lee asserts that it was an accident and one wonders why it didn't end there. I suppose that he was considered to have been reckless. But an accident implies that he didn't intend to give the comic to minors. The comic is labeled on the back that it is for a mature audience. And one wonders how this will play out from the law: "is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community in the State as a whole with respect to what is suitable material for minors". Seems to me that if this violates the law that it does so barely. We will see. It’s going to be interesting to see how this one plays out.
