Today's "Terry" is as close to movies-on-paper as it gets, both artwork and dialogue. That the best they could do with it cinematically is a kiddie matinee serial suggests an extreme misunderstanding of what the strip was all about and who was reading it.
I'm never quite sure what to think Gray is trying to do with Warbucks. Historically, he's used the character as an avatar for his own views, but at the same time the guy is so dense that it almost seems like Gray is also sending him -- and by extension, himself -- up. Maybe you can't have it both ways, but that doesn't mean you can't try. This whole storyline going back almost a year now has felt like self-satire, but at the same time you can tell he *really means it.* Fascinating.
