    In this issue, we explore possible origins of male and female dynamics. I'm not entirely clear if Wilma's father was abusive to her mother or something, it was kind of vague. There is also this random guy who insists on injecting economic theory to someone else's classroom, which was probably my favourite part. There is also Mayor Clod's corrupt bureaucracy that ties together with Fred's struggle to be a good father. It is a lot to digest in one issue, I would have liked more pages or to turn it into a two-part series. Russell's mind must be overflowing with ideas to pack so much into one issue.
