Research has found that people relate to cartoon characters with fewer features. Recall Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, and Dilbert: round faces, square faces, almost bald. For instance, Dilbert’s boss could be anyone’s boss. Typically low on personality, details, and features but relatable.

Then there are comics with very high personality indexes — Batman, Superman, and the DC Universe. High details and little content. The bone-crunching punch of Batman can take an entire page. High on personality, low on content.

You might turn five pages and realize the plot has hardly progressed. Batman is so un-relatable that by design the creator has to keep an alter ego— Bruce Wayne. The same goes for Spiderman and Superman.

So much to borrow from these two styles of comics to lead our daily lives. Offers us a choice. Pick one.
