:: Heh sorry bad phrasing. The text after the actual, literal statement of the tagline on this page is in the tone of an "explanation", like you would see on a comic's page. It doesn't sound like the purely objective, wikipedia-style prose that you see on some of the other more general pages. So, I was tempted to add a header to that text calling it "Explanation", to mimic the comic pages' format. But in the end, with such a short page, that would probably hurt more than it helps.

I'm tempted to add an Explanation header after the tagline proper, since the following text is clearly written with a subjective tone and is, in fact, an explanation. But on such a short page, that would look weird. - jerodast (talk) 13:18, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
