Harrman's characters lived on the page in a way that no other cartoon characters have, partly as a function of his presentation of characters in a sort of theatrical setting. He somehow manages to capture the ser cor violent engine of a vaudeville or something to express his deep human truths about wanting to be loved. And there's something about it there that's, you can't really put it into words, which is what makes it so great. It just is what it is. I mean, there've been, there was a ballet, and there have been animated cartoons, but none of em really make sense that has to be printed on the page.
