Well said G, that's a great point. I never really saw the cartoons, but the comics gave GI Joe life. They weren't just plastic toys, they had personalities and foibles and a history, and the way LH wrote them, they could have been real people. I think that's why so many people have such an attachment to certain characters; above all else, thier personalities and their exploits hold a great appeal.
