Lucky Finns!

>one week of war time strips were censored, from 2nd of Feb till 7th of Feb 
>1942 were cut off. I wonder what happened in these strips?

Well, I guess there were just some Nazi monsters in it, speaking with a 
strange German accent...
I have to add that I really fed up with this #%@§ß&#8364; censoring - see 
also Gottfredson! A comic fan has the right for completeness! As for 
everybody else it is no problem for a German to see Nazis depicted as what 
they are (except maybe for some incurable exceptions, but that's not only a 
German problem, and they don't deserve any consideration anyway). In films 
like "The Great Dictator" or "To be or not to be" the same stereotypes were 
ridiculed, but nobody ever thought of censoring them. Guess what would 
happen, if somebody had the
"brilliant" idea to forbid any further publication of "Asterix chez les 
goths" due to racial stereotypes? He'd certainly be killed...
So why always Disney comics? (sigh)



Paperinik: In Germany, as far as I know, this series was cancelled due
           to lack of success. Never mind, I prefer the old version
           (Carpi, Cavazzano, and even Scarpa, I think). Back
           then, it was a superhero PARODY, but I'm not so sure anymore
           about the new version.
