My mom would ask us close our eyes anytime boobs came on the screen. But would let us open them so we could watch Jason or Freddy hatch them to pieces. Never understood that.
I never did that with my boys and funny they didn’t grow up weirded out about naked women.
Such a memorable story from The Prehistory. “Someone representing the Jane Goodall Institute” sent his publisher a letter condemning the cartoon.
Shortly after receiving the letter, before Larson could reply, National Geographic reached out and wanted to reprint the article. Nat Geo was shocked to learn about all of this when Larson’s publisher declined: “That doesn’t sound like the Jane Goodall we know.” Nat Geo made their own phone calls, which is when everyone discovered that Jane loved the cartoon, and she herself was unaware the letter had gone out from her institute.
Some readers took issue with this comic, calling a respected figure like Goodall a “tramp”. While Goodall herself loved it.
Interesting the issue was with her being called “tramp”, and not with it being insinuated that she was having an “affair” with a gorilla.
same thing as movies with characters being exploded in a rain of blood and gore being derided for having a woman show one nipple for 4 seconds
