      I mean maybe, but you really have to contextualize the comic.

      We’re talking about concepts about the embracing of sexuality and attractiveness, about choice and control of ones body, at a time when sexual liberation was just barely coming onto the scene, in a part of the world which came from an extremely sexually repressive history. These comics are a huge challenge to the social authority around what is permissive regarding sexuality. They’re quite revolutionary.

      Obligatory mention that Pusztai’s wife destroyed all of the Jucika originals after he died for precisely this reason.
