Message-ID: <1769@dartvax.UUCP> Date: Sat, 2-Jun-84 20:43:23 EDT Article-I.D.: dartvax.1769 Posted: Sat Jun 2 20:43:23 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 5-Jun-84 19:48:12 EDT Organization: Dartmouth College Lines: 23 (panties 'n' capes, superheroes wear panties 'n' capes) There I was, reading The New Defenders (yes, I have no shame), listening to Cloud agonize about how sick it was to be gay. Then it occurred to me -- The Comics Code permits (gasp) homosexual thoughts? Heavens Forfend! When I checked the cover, sure enough, there was no Code symbol. Same goes for my current Alpha Flight, X-men, and Fantastic Four. (In which case, why didn't more of Aurora peek out of her towel??) To quote a Golden Oldie, "How long has zis been going on?" Has Marvel given up on the Comics Code? If so, rah for them. Yours in puzzlement, Betsy Perry P.S. After Alpha Flight #14, my vote for 'comical female I would most like to resemble(physically)' is sewed up for Aurora. -- Betsy Perry UUCP: {decvax|linus|cornell}!dartvax!betsy CSNET: betsy@dartmouth ARPA: betsy%dartmouth@csnet-relay
