Say you're a comic book editor in the Groovy Age trying to capture the times with a hero who personifies the cultural essence. You spend time with your trusted creators and decide that the way to go is a boy with his bike and guitar - perfect for the era, right?
But you're still left with something of a dilemma - tone and handling. Do you go light & swinging, or heavy and questing?
Or do you do both?
Yeah, both.
That seems easier.
