But there is the general sense that sf is for adolescents (cultural attitude in the US), and the cover art of his (that I recall) are all comic-booky, and many of the protagonists are adolescent/YA (apparently he wrote younger after I stopped reading), so yeah, I'd imagine people would assume they were ok.
OH, yeah okay - that makes more sense to me. Not intended for kids; but like with cartoons, parents seem to believe that anything illustrated = 100% child-friendly.
I quit reading after half a dozen Xanth or so ones because the fixation on women's panties was, frankly, creeping me out.
Hmmmmyeah. Clearly, many other people aren't creeped out, given this author's popularity? Which suddenly explains a lot about the general skeevy atmospheres of sci-fi gatherings.
