Mikey is a very interesting character. Even though out of the Turtles, he's my least favorite, out of every comic charcter, he's my 4th favorite. I love his creativity, I like the fact that the comics have done alot to establish his status as both a talented artist and an accomplished writter. I really wish that would have carryed over into the movies and cartoon shows, it would have made Mikey more than just the party dude.
There are probably some people out there that wonder what purpose Mikey serves with Leo bing the leader, Raph being the muscle, and Don being the brains. Mikey is the definate heart of the team, he's the one that keeps the other Turtles in check. Without Mikey, Leo would be way too stiff and stern, Don would be so into his work that he loses his connection with his brothers, and Raph would have gone of the deep end. Mikey's youthful enthuseaism and easy going attitude that makes him easy to be around and keeps the others grounded. I guess Mikey can be seen as the most improtant Turtle, he's the one that reminds them that they're still teenagers and they're stilla family.
