Correlation is the new causation or so the internet seems to be jibing people about that, two great links that hit the same heart beat, one a little more tongue and cheek and the other trying to make a point.
The first, SMBC from this weekend: http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=3129#comic.
There is something on the third page about a book called Captain Underpants being banned in 10/25 school libraries, which absolutely shocked me, as it both innocuous and a great early reader. Using pictures to help prompt the student to read from context. Anyways I can happily say that our local school provides a vast variety of books including a limited selection of current comics. I suppose I have a bias towards comics, but I think as Harry Potter demonstrated, anything that can help children realize that reading is good is well good. (Never mind all that witch craft hooey.)
Alright, I'm sure I made some logical fallacies in there weakening my position on the subject, but the internet agrees with me so neener-neener-neener.
