For those of you interested in following the case of US v. Handley and the issue in general:

From New York Times blogger, The Lede -
http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/08/bart-simpson-child-
pornography-and-free-speech/?scp=4&sq=child%20pornography&st=cse

"Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson are at the center of a legal case in Australia that ponders a bizarre — and slightly creepy — question: Are drawings that depict the younger members of the Simpsons clan engaged in carnal activities merely offensive and crude? or do they actually constitute child pornography?"

On the current prosecution for receipt of manga in Iowa (but under federal law), US v Handley, see official document at:
