“Sexy Wendy Sparks Pan Protest”

Whatever else happens, I think we can all agree the above headline, from the Edmonton Sun, approaches genius.

As noted by a few of you who wrote in, the Associated Press picked up on the BBC's story that the hospital granted rights to some of the Peter Pan work by J.M. Barrie may object to the use of those characters in Lost Girls, which has led to the usual wildfire of similar articles, or papers simply running it with a new headline. This is one of those weird stories where there's not a real move yet to keep anything from being published, so it's hard to care about on that level, so you kind of kick back and see if the idea of having some dirty comics working this subject area freaks anybody out in a completely different direction. But as of right now, nothing. Just smoke. No fire. Not yet. Time to wait some more.
