KC Bookstore Owner Protests Photo Change
Pete Cowdin, owner of Reading Reptile, said he noticed the change about six weeks ago while selling a copy of "Goodnight Moon," a popular classic written by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd that was first published in 1947.
The photograph of Hurd published in the book for years showed him with a cigarette in his right hand, but in new copies brought out recently by HarperCollins Publishers the cigarette has been digitally removed.
The guy set up this website to protest. Whereas I would've just drawn the cigarette back in, along with a mustache.
