Indecent Cock?

Cock 8 has been referred to the Indecent Publications Tribunal.

This followed the appearance of Christopher Robin Wheeler before Mr Scully SM in the Wellington Magistrates Court on 20 February.

Christopher Robin was charged with printing an indecent document. The charge related specifically to a comic strip — The Phonus Balonus by Crum the Bum — printed on the centre pages and a cartoon on the inside back page of the magazine.

Mr Scully ruled that the magazine would have to be referred to the Tribunal in order to establish whether it was indecent before the charge could be proceeded with.

When interviewed by Salient Christopher Robin said "I didn't do it".
