(DailyFinance) Rob Berry and Josh Levitas’s “Ulysses Seen” webcomic is, by all accounts, an ambitious undertaking, as any adaptation of the Irish author’s nearly 1,000-page tome would be. And with a readers’ guide, translation into foreign languages and other complementary materials, it would seem like a natural for the iPad and its multitouch user interface.
But Apple had a surprise up its sleeve, thanks to its strict guidelines about adult content, and the nudity present in “Ulysses Seen” was verboten.
“While the first chapter of the book, the one now at iTunes, doesn’t contain ‘offensive language,’ our comic does have frank nudity. Something we figured we might have to pixelate or cover with ‘fig leaves,’” Berry told the comics blog Robot 6. “But Apple’s policy prohibits even that. So we were forced to either scrap the idea of moving to the tablet with Apple or re-design our pages.”
Berry and Levitas opted to stay on the iPad and follow Apple’s rules, so the iPad version of the webcomic is nudity-free (the unexpurgated version, however, remains online).
