An old house, a geek, a cute transvestite, a very tall lesbian, and at least one ghost–what could happen? – Adult situations and artistic nudity. Not suitable for children.
Having just one spring-foot would really throw off his stride. I don’t think that would work out well.
Pretty sure Larry’s “Flash” is a homage to this actual person: Oscar Oistorius https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Oscar_Pistorius-2.jpg
The IAAF tried to ban him from running in non-paralympic events, claiming his prosthetics gave him an unfair mechanical advantage over runners with normal feet… and there’s something to that argument. The blade-feet are springy, so they bounce him forward with each step. He eventually (2011) won the court cases against his participation, but that would come later than this comic was posted in 2009.
Also coming later would be when he murdered his girlfriend in 2013… and no one really wants to use him as an inspiration to others anymore. :s
