First off, I love that comic

.

Second, the way I've always looked at is:

Leonardo tries to shape the world around him with discipline, focus, and practice.

This has been done many, many time before.

Donatello tries to shape the world around him with mathematics and science.

This has been done many, many times before.

Raphael tries to shape the world around him with blind rage, lashing out, anger.

This has CERTAINLY been done many, many times before.

And Mikey? He takes a lighthearted, cheerful, joyous approach. He doesn't care who has the most, or the best... of pretty much anything. He's Robert Frost's most famous poem walking. He IS the road less travelled, the unbeaten path.

And THAT, to me at least, makes him the most "revolutionary" of all the turtles. I mean, can you name the 22nd or 24th Presidents of the United States?

(They were both Grover Cleveland)

But everyone, or at least, probably everyone, can name the little man with the bowler hat and cane, making his way through the big bad confusing world in all those early silent movies.

So, I ask you: who made a bigger difference in the world? President Cleveland, or Charlie Chaplin?

That's why I <3 Mikey
