Okay, I forthwith call a moritorium on postings of all covers, panels, pages, etc that have become "naughty" since they were first published. No more shots of inappropriately placed logs or Batman and Robin uttering homo-erotic dialog.GROW UP. Beavis and Butt-head are NOT good role models.

I would suggest it's not even 'simpler' times; just DIFFERENT times. Context is everything.

Seems just and reasonable to me! I don't like those graphs!

Does this include covers that have come to seem exponentially more stupid over time too? Like the one where Saturn's rings, having blown up Saturn, and are now hovering around Earth and all the spaceheroes are shooting at it with their rocket ships?

I agree absolutely. I'm sick and tired of crap humor like Jackass. Look, look. I'm eating a snow cone with urine on it! Oh look, now I'm shoving a toy car up my arse.
I'm so glad this rule is in effect because I'm sick of drawings humiliating the friends that I grew up with. I'm sure Batman wouldn't approve if he knew about this.

Like the one where Saturn's rings, having blown up Saturn, and are now hovering around Earth and all the spaceheroes are shooting at it with their rocket ships?**** Not as phrased, but perhaps it should. I have long been tired of our condescending tendencies to judge the Past by the standards of the Present -- and of course find that it is the Past that is wanting! A week or so ago, I picked up a book called "Regrettable Food". It's all about some of the bizarre concoctions that came along after the privations of WW2. It's liberally illustrated, and one of those was an ad painting for A&P, from the mid-Fifties. It showed housewives (in their flaring skirts with full white petticoats, white gloves and, of course, hats) heading into the store to shop, leaving their toddlers and babies lined up on the sidewalk in their strollers. Of course, the attitude of the book's author was to point at these stupid women. How crazy could they be to leave their kids unattended like that. My thought was to look at our own society, and feel sad that such times have slipped so far away. Often, when we point and laugh, we should realize that it's not the Past that's messed up!

As a Father, this rings very true to me...I recall that I wouldn't think twice as a child going out after lunch and not coming back home until Dinner time. I'd wander far and wide!
These days, I wont let my similarly aged daughter, any further than the local swing park and I expect her to "check-in" if she changes her where abouts!
I shudder now to think about the loss of freedoms for our children.

My girlfriend's son is constantly amazed when I tell him of some of the things we were allowed to do without the blink of an eye just 20 years ago.
I wonder what it will be like in another 20 years?
