	The History of AmerenUE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The stick figure made of lightning bolts, with a light bulb for a nose and wall outlets for ears, insulated hands and feet, and two twin lightning bolts instead of hair, first appeared as an Alabama Power Company "spokestoon" on March 11, 1926.
		Reddy also served as a spokestoon for power companies across the nation and has appeared on billboards, stationery, newspaper and magazine ads, and merchandise.
		Ameren chose to use this recognizable character as its centennial logo because Reddy continues to symbolize much of what Ameren is today -- a dynamic, yet friendly and customer-focused, energy company committed to providing reliable service.

		I agree with Groth on a lot of the commerce points and see, but have issues with, his line of thinking on the art points.
		I'm not criticizing Scott because he's old in any sort of ageist sense, I'm criticizing McCloud because his ideas seem to have stopped growing and are becoming old.
		The piece was accompanied by a scathing editorial questioning McCloud's position as the official web comics spokestoon and commerce guru.

		Tycho later wrote a retraction but the damage was already done.
