The employees just don't like the ten-inch dicks springing out of the pages

San Antonio, Texas-based Brenner Printing has informed at least one of its clients it will no longer publish adult-related material.
[snip]
...finding a printer for adult-content comics can be a hassle for some publishers because unlike related works in prose form, employees at the printer are more likely to see the material in the process of doing the work.
[snip]
What happened at Brenner is actually what has happened at a number of Bible-Belt or Midwestern printers, which is that although the owners and managers have no problem with printing X-rated material (the accusation I've seen that "the owners must have found religion" is actually false), a certain proportion of their employees do, and at some point it becomes such a hassle to organize shifts so that the anti-porn employees don't have to deal with it, or reverberating community disapproval becomes so strong (I could tell you stories about one of our former X-rated printers that would curl your hair), that it's just not worth it.
