Michael Cavna Looks At Edited Episode Of Darrin Bell’s Candorville

There's a nice post here from Michael Cavna about the editing process on a recent installment of Darrin Bell's Candorville that referenced Michael Jackson's pedophilia. I'm surprised that both Cavna and Bell talk about this in terms of censorship rather than editing, although I guess I can see how you could define it that way.

I'm also impressed that Darrin Bell woke up one day and decided to make a pedophilia joke. That sounds like I'm making fun of Bell, but I'm not -- I seriously love the impulse involved. See a light; turn and run into the light. I can't even imagine trying to do a strip about that bizarre display of some of humanity's worst excesses, and it wouldn't have been as good as that Achewood strip explaining the reaction to Jackson's death as a kind of reinforcement of one's own mortality, anyway.

I think I could have done two weeks with Ed McMahon, though.
