All love is unrequited. All of it.

Avoid the tyranny of the reasonable voice...it will guarantee a complacency of never trying anything adventurous.

There was a point when comics were considered to be mainly of interest to kids, and it was decided that kids could relate more to someone their own age than an adult. So suddenly all these previously grownup comics were lousy with sidekicks: Aquagirl, Aqualad, Robin, Kid Flash, Speedy, Stripesy... the list goes on.
