2. I don't get it either. And I'm usually an it-getter. I'm gonna have to google stuff now.

If I don't get it, I have to find it.

COMICS ARE FOR KIDS -- ONLY!



IRA SCHNAPP was an Austrian immigrant who came to America with a talent for stone carving, and found a home working for DC Comics. But in the mid-fifties, Schnapp's career, along with the entire comic book industry, were threatened by...

DR. FREDRIC WERTHAM, a German psychiatrist who wrote Seduction of the Innocent (1954, cover pictured right), a book that "exposed" comics books as a prime corrupter of American youth and morality.



How are these two men connected? Let's find out! Starting with some quotes from Wertham's book, Seduction of the Innocent, illustrated... Robby-style!

Quotes from "SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT"

<snip>


"I have known many adults who have treasured throughout their lives some of the books they read as children. I have never come across any adult or adolescent who had outgrown comic-book reading who would ever dream of keeping any of these 'books' for any sentimental or other reason."
--Fredrick Wertham, Seduction of the Innocent
