>>120

Okay, I concede the point. Cub art is illegal to create, distribute, or own in the United States.  Considering the link in >>120 is suffering from a serious case of tl;dr, here is the relevant part:

-----------------------------------------------------------

-EXPCITE-
    TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
    PART I - CRIMES
    CHAPTER 71 - OBSCENITY

-HEAD-
    Sec. 1466A. Obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children

-STATUTE-

(a) In General. - Any person who, in a circumstance described in subsection (d), knowingly produces, distributes, receives, or possesses with intent to distribute, a visual depiction of any kind, including a drawing, cartoon, sculpture, or painting, that -

  (1)(A) depicts a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct; and
     (B) is obscene; or
  (2)(A) depicts an image that is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in graphic bestiality, sadistic or masochistic abuse, or sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex; and
     (B) lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value;

or attempts or conspires to do so, shall be subject to the penalties provided in section 2252A(b)(1), including the penalties provided for cases involving a prior conviction.

-----------------------------------------------------------

So there you go. Even though cub art hasn't been put before the court, if you go by the letter of the law it is illegal. While I may disagree with the law, it is still the law (until challenged and beaten or simply changed).  You can bitch all you want about it, but there it is.
