A lot of writers appear to have their thumbs in this particular pie, and it probably shouldn't be surprising that one would pull out a lemon, rather than a plum. The editor(s), however, should have noted the illogical plot of "Pesos" and asked for some revisions.<br /><br />ChrisChris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357793224370188597.post-43571004408284592352011-07-08T10:18:16.120-04:002011-07-08T10:18:16.120-04:00I've not read as many Richie comics as you hav...I've not read as many Richie comics as you have, Chris, but when I have, they've always been enjoyable. The old Harveys, like the Disney comics of yore, were kid-oriented, but for the most part, never talked down to kids. <br /><br />The writers of this comic (going on what you've written) and Warren Spector's DuckTales book over at Boom! seem to have forgotten that good kid-oriented writing doesn't mean it's for kids who aren't adults yet, but for the kids in all of us, whether we're 3 or 30 or 93.<br /><br />That's why the best animation, whether on TV or in a theatre, appeals to everybody. It doesn't talk down to its audience because it's for kids; it speaks to that side in all of us that never grows up.Pete Fernbaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460546076208578503noreply@blogger.com
