Were I a Seuss purist, I might boggle at how a random kid in an apartment with a yo-yo became the mayor's emo son.

But instead I was too charmed by the character's lack of saying anything to be too picky about it. Then Jesse McCartney's voice came out and the cute was ruined... but up until then? His quiet observation of pure insanity was amusing.

So looking through DA for references (and finding about 7 pages of Mary Sues lol) I was surprised nobody had used the good 'ol cliched 'Cheer up, emo kid' phrase. SO. Stuck that on there too. Because originality is for people who don't love old meme. And I fucking love old meme.
