...energetic. The lady really is something of a latter-day Richard Burton-the explorer, that is. She has been trapped in a coup d'état in the remote kingdom of Bhutan. She has delivered a Masai baby in Kenya. In Bangkok she saw Buddhist parents "with static expressions watch their baby drown...
...blue-collar worker (railroad) who is truly thankful for the countless blessings that I have.

The Fantastic Four included The Thing, a repulsive brute who destroyed his enemies by stomping on them. Some cartoon shows dispensed with animation entirely. Marine Boy showed a static caricatured face with human lips that spoke the lines...
