The App Censorship Story on Imprint

Screen Shot from Android version

Today Imprint (the on-line version of Print Magazine) posted an interview with me about the problems we ran into getting approval for the iPhone version of our Comix Classics app due the sexualized content featured in underground comix. It's quite a story, and there are some good graphics. If you aren't squeamish about seeing body parts, check it out. http://imprint.printmag.com/graphic/iphone-app-censored/

The screen shot on the left depicts Crumb's artist gallery from the Android version of the app. In the iPhone version Home Grown Funnies was cut, along with 16 other images.
