Mortdred: Chasing Approval and Happiness, but the Gag Gets in the Way- A Visionaries Study

Mortdred is one of those characters where the character gag should have been used sparingly or kicked to the curb never to be seen again. I wrote an essay discussing how much of a hindrance the "lol, he's a sycophant!" gag becomes in the cartoon. When in the comics, there's a glimpse of it being more than a joke; where it's more of an examination of his character and why he does the things that he does. Sadly, in the comics were cancelled and so that idea will never be expanded upon.

Well, here's the AO3 link, here, or you can read it down below, too.
