    I guess I was the only one that wanted to know more about Dick Bathroom Stall-Man. Granted, the character development is bit avant-garde, but it reminded me of Tom Hanks in that movie where he lives in an airport.... now we may never know if we wears a super hero costume and has an alter ego, Porta-Potty Pete....
