I understand Burkhardt suffering. I have a confession to make too. I am addicted to page border cartoons. They can be very addictive and certainly lead to pornography as they have always been suggestive in many ways.
It started with Mad Magazine and it wasn't the main stories but the little cartoons that surround the pieces. A handful of artists did this and I started to search other magazines and books for little cartoons on the sides. It became a costly habit buying issues with all night flashlight reading and saving. I lost my paper route because I started tearing out little cartoons I found in the papers I delivered throwing holey Sunday morning papers on their porch.
And yes it lead to reading Art Crumb and zap comics... highly pornographic and weird. I still struggle today. If they had only banned Mad Magazine back then I would be happily reading Readers Digest. Warn your friends.
