"I tried to argue that relentlessly grim 24/7 dulls the impact of grim, dulls the story, and ultimately dulls the reader. A rule: Darkness sets up the light. Light sets up the darkness. Funny bits set up the dramatic bits and dramatic bits sets up the funny. This always works. But relentless drama is dull and relentless comedy is farce. Both are paths to reader disengagement." -- Bill Willingham
