Wal-Mart Axes Memin Pinguin Comic In perhaps the most certain outcome to a previous news story in comics blogging history, retail giant Wal-Mart has removed a Spanish-language Memin Pinguin comic from its shelves.

Its availability at Texas Wal-Mart locations drew criticism from a slew of shoppers.
