I don’t think any character is “damaged goods.” I reject the premise. Creators can be damaged goods, sure. But characters?

Stripping with Tom Russell: Deliberately Ephemeral
Here’s Tom, who you may recall as the author of Bill Reed’s theme song. – BC “Comics are made to be in print and they’re made to be cheap and disposable… It’s nice that people are making one-of-a-kind original art objects, but still, the reason I read comics, as a kid, was in the newspaper [...]
