Legality of works

If his works (namely the Boiled Angel series) were judged to be obscene, did it become illegal to possess/sell/distribute copies of said works after his conviction? Cronos12390 19:56, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so, only because I bought my copies after his conviction. I think they were openly displayed along with other underground comics. Maybe they are illegal in the jurisdiction that convicted Diana. ike9898 (talk) 13:45, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A 2002 supreme court verdict sounds like it should have vindicated him.[1] According to it a drawing of a priest raping a child should be protected free speech. It's funny to think now, when the Catholic church is being criticized from all sides for molestation cases, that a little consideration for commentators like Diana back in the early 90s might have saved dozens of children from abuse.

David Johnston

The article now says that the play Busted Jesus Comics was written by David Johnston. I'm guessing that the author is not really Governor-General of Canada, but none of the candidates at David Johnston (disambiguation) is obviously more likely. —Tamfang (talk) 07:31, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
