But for those who have followed Tarantino's celluloid antics for years, the graphic aggression runs true to form. When Pulp Fiction came out nine years ago, we summed up the director's forceful style...
Suddenly, Dartboard’s mind was afire with possibilities. Herschbach has said that he took on the role in part to lighten the image of his fellow sages, to break the celluloid ceiling and prove that even Nobel laureates can appear in juvenile cartoons—and how right he was.

"Maybe that makes me guilty, too, but at least I didn't profit from it," he says. As celluloid incarnations, Guerin's editors show concern, suggesting she trade crime reporting for something less dangerous, like fashion or politics. In reality, though, some criticize the paper for not doing enough to discourage her. "She told me a year before she was killed that she wanted to write about politics, but they...
