      See, that’s why I’m thinking they won’t ban it. They can only see the pictures.

      That’s why they’ve also gotten banned graphic novel adaptations of books (The Diary of Anne Frank and The Handmaid’s Tale to name two examples) but not the actual novels.

      I’ve never read the graphic novel adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale, but I doubt it’s any more explicit than the depictions of rape in the novel.

      Short answer? Yes.

      Long answer? None of them have ever read any of the books they want banned, they found or were given a list of “bad books”, and are now blindly trying to get them all banned, like the stupid obedient sheep they are
