This is a tale so primal and pitiable that for many a former child it deserves to be retold on an analyst's couch. The boy has fallen in love with comic books; studied and memorized their narrative outrages, their graphic ingenuity; saved them in meticulous stacks or mold-resistant wrappers.

This level of concern about the ecosystem is rare in the corporate world, and Chouinard delights in the fact that his company has broken all the accepted molds.
