If you're only familiar with the franchise via its surviving legacy of holiday specials and Snoopy merch, it may not be apparent to you how many strips were just Charlie Brown saying something that would get an adult red-flagged for potential suicidal ideation, and, like, that was the joke.

The Punky Brewster Halloween episode. My sister was watching it and I saw the apparently-infamous face-embedded-in-stone sequence, which is the only thing I remember about it.

Nice to have a citation for the stuff we all sort of assume to be true but question if it's just our own biases making it look that way
Screenshot from the article in the quoted post, saying "Piff and his colleagues found that upper-class drivers were more likely to cut other cars off at junctions and ignore pedestrians at crossings. Wealthier people also appeared more willing to lie at work. In one experiment, volunteers were left alone with a jar of sweets ostensibly meant for children. When the researchers returned, upper-class people had snaffled nearly twice as many candies as lower-class people.

“The general pattern seems to be that with wealth and rising power, you become less engaged with the needs of others and less burdened by the needs of social relationships,” Piff said. “Taking candy from children might be the least of our worries but it’s emblematic of the tendency to prioritise one’s own needs over those of others.”

One of the good things about a character like Jimmy Olsen is that he doesn't lend himself to traditional hero pose sketches, so any time I sit down to do a commission I get to come up with an untold Jimmy story and illustrate it.
Sketch cover available in the Helioscope etsy shop. Jimmy is playing chess with a gorilla. Superman is in his corner, and Jimmy's spacecat is watchingSuperman's Pal Jimmy Olsen wearing a bootleg batman suit, sneaking around the batcaveJimmy playing hoops with Swamp ThingJimmy loves Carnage.
