Bingo. I think that the Bank Dick out on the scaffold would certainly make kids laugh.

Yeah. It is a simple band aid for depressed kids, I agree. Even Big Bird out on the ledge or the Count, counting the spots might be cute. But as I said, I have this thing about ''heroazation'' that just pushes my buttons. Never the less, I appologize for casting negativity on what really should be a feel good event.

Bigburgh has hand-painted boots for terminally ill kids which is awesome. I remembered his thread as soon as I saw your OP, but I'm sure he posted a pic of boots painted with superheroes which aren't there. Memory, huh?
There's a huge amount of people doing magical work to put smiles on the faces of kids in hospitals. I hate dropping clichés and I can't stop myself so here goes. Ahem. With all the animosity on social media and folk feeling down with life, it's easy to forget all the people and families trying to cope with seriously ill, or dying, children. I think of the medical staff who spend every working day amongst these kids and how they bring the sunshine. They've got bills and just life doing its thing and they still turn up and radiate warmth.
The dudes in the outfits, the families, the nursing staff and the 1000s of people like BigBurgh are like the very best aspects of humanity under pressure. I don't even believe in karma and hope it exists so they get some kind of reward for what they all do.
