What I found absolutely impressive and stunning about this comic is the way the artist explained the identification and elimination of the confounding factors in the Rat Park study. This is one of the hardest parts of experiments to explain to the public, and I think it was just brilliantly done.
This is one of the most important pieces of research done in the last 50 years.

A beautiful experiment and so simply explained for even the most naive layman to understand. I love it.
Dick: You
know almost as much as I do, Alfred. He found me at the Haly Circus and said
Bruce needed me here. I couldn’t let a twelve year old kid wander around alone,
so I brought him with me.
Tim: I’m not twelve–I’m
thirteen. And I don’t want to cause trouble. Dick, please–I promise, once you
help Batman, I’m out of here.
Alfred: I
don’t know what game you’re playing, but we’re not enjoying it. If you
are here for a purpose, state your case. If not, give me your phone
number and I shall call your parents. You do have parents, don’t
you?
Tim: I do,
but they’re off visiting someplace or another on business. Dad’s always
traveling, and Mom goes with him.
Dick: And
you?
Tim: They
put me in a boarding school outside Gotham City, but this is a vacation
week.
