Canadian Mother Complains About Sex And Violence In Dungeon

For some reason, this story eludes my being able to write a decent headline for it. Basically, a mother in Salisbury, New Brunswick complained to school officials about a copy of one of the Dungeon books finding its way into the hands of her 12-year-old and it cued the standard, "Well, will you just look at the stuff they put in a funnybook that they gave to one of our kids" tut-tutting news report and, subsequently, a standard pull-and-review response from officials. I don't know that I have the volume in question, but the vast majority of the Dungeon volumes I own carry a "mature readers" label. I don't know why something like that would be lent out to a 12-year-old, and this seems to me an unfortunate choice or oversight by a librarian rather than anything about which to get furious or to make sweeping declarations about the nature of comics and how they're perceived.
