Scott McCloud Is A Pottymouth (And Other Stories)
From Page 52 of the May 2008 Previews.
Shocking, isn't it? It's shocking that Diamond, a company that refused to let the solicitation for Cover Girl read "This chick, right? She's fucking awesome and she shoots shit and this guy, he's sort of a boob, but that's all right because he's a really fucking nice guy and you'll want to see them interact and crap. It's fucking awesome, so just fucking buy it, shitheads!" lets Scott McCloud spew such filth. The scales have fallen from my eyes and I now see that you have to be a multiple Eisner-winner who has done an awful lot to elevate comics into academic circles to get by with cursing in Diamond's precious catalog, something that nobody under 18 has touched in the last decade. Add in the fact that the third comic featured in the ad also features rampant foul language, and you've got a case of big publishers throwing their weight around and pushing their filth into the catalog while other companies are forced to bend to the yoke of censorship.
Alternately, somebody let this slip through without throwing asterisks in the right places. Either/or, really.
