News For You - re:Molly & Poo

[frosti]

Well Terry, I'm rather excited about this news! I've been wanting to read the original M&P since 1998. I can't wait to get both issues!
I'm a little suprised to hear about your reasoning for not re-issueing M&P ealier, though. Considering the level of violence and sexuality in the comic industry when it was originally released, it doesn't seem like it would be an issue. Still, I'd have to commend you for thinking about it. A lot of creaters haven't been that responsible in this area *cough*Rob Leifeld*cough*(How many terribly written bad girls with really big guns fighting crime in g-strings do we really need?). Anyway, it's good to hear that this was on you mind. But considering what you've created in SIP, I don't think that one issue could neccessarily be that damaging. The bulk of the series has been has been very positive, and has pushed to show it's characters (particularly it's women) in a realistic manner. It seems like it would have to be a pretty dark issue to over-shadow this book as a whole. I don't know, I guess I'll have to wait to read it.

My 2 cents. Thanks for listening.

WooHoo! Molly and Poo is one of my favorite issues. It is my secret guilty pleasure. For some reason that I can no longer remember, I ended up with several copies of this issue the first time it came out. I actually still have a couple of copies of it stashed away. Occasionally, when I'm feeling slightly wicked, I retrieve one of those copies from it's hidey hole and sneak off to reread it. I'm glad it's going to make it's way out into the world one more time.

By the way, hello everyone. I am very new to the board (just stumbled across it today) but I am not new to SIP. In fact, I was strong-armed into buying Vol. II, Issue I from a friend of mine in Texas WAY BACK when the dinosaurs still roamed the earth. (Okay, so I like to exaggerate.) My friend threatened to hide my most recent issue of Wandering Star until I read SiP and gave her a full review. Anyone remember Wandering Star? It's been gone for a long time. But SiP just keeps going and it keeps getting better. I'm looking forward to joining in on the discussion here. Finally, a group of people who will know what the heck I'm talking about some of the time. (I'll settle for some, it's better than none.)

Yummy! Thank you for the oreos and milk. And also for the warm welcome. I reread the posts on this topic, and I noticed a post questioning the state of comics in 1997 that would target Molly and Poo for its dark content. I'm not going to presume to know anything about Molly and Poo specifically, but I do remember that comics in general were being targeted pretty heavily by some right wing groups in 1997. There were several cases of "distribution of obscene material" being tried that year over titles like Spawn, Verotika, etc. Whether or not this had any bearing on Molly and Poo, I could not say. I hope not. Molly and Poo was a very intelligent, well written piece of fiction and I'm certainly glad it will be reprinted.
