Political Censorship Of Schuiten/Peeters Art Causes Kamagurka To Withdraw Work In Solidarity

I'm not sure I have this all the way right, mostly because it's hard enough to track people being really strident and stupid in one's native language. But I guess an exhibition of comics art in Belgium contained a page from L'Enfant penchée by Francois Schuiten and Benoit Peeters, and that this page was censored because it contained French-language text, drawing the ire of a separatist group that would prefer everything be in Flemish. This then caused Kamagurka to withdraw his work in solidarity, as well as a lot of discussion over whether this was right, who owned the art in question, and the nature of comics art in the first place. It seemed pretty interesting to me even if I'm not grasping the particulars -- maybe worth a translated read for you, or a read en Francais if you're able.
