Well, Bruno began in my University newspaper, and then was sort-of syndicated with a starting syndicate (never went anywhere). So nudity and swearing were issues.

But also, I grew up with little exposure to risque movies or comics, and so it took a while for me to be comfortable with putting it in my work. And it’s such a complex issue. There are so many reasons for doing it. I tried with Bruno, and think that I continue to try to do it tastefully and only to further story, or to give a fuller picture of a character’s life and world, and not merely as a way to sell product.

But this is all a very brief synopsis. As I said, I think it’s pretty complex. For me at least. ;-)
