I'm the kind of weirdo fascinated with ontologies that tries to work their library into LCC just for fun (and disagrees with the National Library of Canada in the process lol). I happen to have a fair amount of comic books. I do not object to the PN classification at all. What confuses me is the instructions at PN6790, which I need to understand to account for Belgian comics as well as Argentinian Mafalda (though I suspect I'll ultimately end up adjusting the 6720-6789 range alphabetically to fit Belgium before Canada)
ANYWAY, what somewhat confuses me is these instructions:
PN6790.A-Z {Comic books, strips, etc.} Other regions or countries, A-Z
Under each country:
.x History
.x2 Collections
.x3 Individual authors or works, A-Z
.x4 Individual comic strips. By title, A-Z
So... am I to understand that basically some numbers so generated may end up duplicating other countries in the geographical table e.g. Belgium B4 and Bengal B43?

Yes, that can happen. The choice of cutter to represent the geographic entity is a local shelf listing decision. I’ve always found this Princeton tool to be helpful: https://library.princeton.edu/departments/tsd/katmandu/class/placcut.html
