DC Comics Creates A Harley Quinn Comic That Smells Like Cannabis for The US, And One That Doesn't For Everyone Else

This is possibly the most ridiculous headline I've written on Bleeding Cool. And it's one that happens to be 100% true.

We knew that a scratch'n'sniff rub'n'smell comic book was on the way from DC Comics, the Harley Quinn Annual #1. Well, now we have bizarre new details. There will be two details of the comic, one for the US and one for the rest of the world that will have to clear international customs.

The US version will contain smells including leather, suntan lotion, pizza and "what's referred to in the story as cannabisylocibe 7-A." The smell of cannabis, that is. Being distributed to comic stores across the country. But just imagine the sniffer dogs getting all excited when the comics arrive in customs in the UK, Eire, Australia, Canada and other locations.

This is why DC is creating an International version, where the cannabis is replaced with the smell of fresh-cut lawn clippings. Well, I guess either way, it still smells of grass.
