Maybe it was viewed by a different censor or in a different light. With
the warpaint you perhaps could argue that the strange behavior of the
actors was due to a chemical reaction with the ingredients in the war-
paint--some form of neurotransmitter that is absorbed through the skin.
However, not having read WotW, I don't have a clue as to what was found
objectionable there...
Harry Fluks:
>David quoted ME (and not Mark Mayerson, Tryg!):
Sorry Harry. It wasn't clear who David was quoting, but I saw Mark's name
there and thought that was added by David quoting Mark... For me to have
correctly guessed the real author's name would have been a Fluke... :>
KDR Et All:
The discussion on Harry Gladstone and the Birthday Bugaboo has certainly
been an interesting one; it inpsired me to re-read the story; I did and I
found it to be a very strange mix. David mentioned a couple of parallels
between various Barks stories; I thouht I saw a few more when I read it
last night, but I've forgotten what they were already. (I have an
excellent memory; it is just very short.) Guess I'll just have to read it
again... :)
