Here’s an example of how there’s usually a simple solution to a direction handed down from a network’s department of standards & practices.

So if you’ve watched the episode “Wizard” you know a large meteor blast at the cartoon’s end renders Finn, Jake, and a pair of old wizards naked as jaybirds. In an act of self-censorship, the design crew originally covered up the fellas’ privates with a couple of beavers (see above). This double entendre was way out of line, of course, and the network rightly put its foot down. Luckily, cooler creative heads prevailed, and the designers chastely gave the guys wood, instead (below).
