Art is suffering

Agreed. Pam is a lot of things. Entertaining, hilarious, disgusting, a fierce sexual beast--who isn't on that show--but a role model she is not.

I suppose that is relative to what you consider to be positive traits. Almost every person on Archer is a self indulgent representation of a human archetype. The mother, the former lover, the secretary, the scientist all represented as selfish individuals whose allegiances are based on what they can get from each other.

Look at Archer, would you say that he portrays tall dark and handsome in a positive way? I'd say he's a womanizing, substance abusing, self entitled, jackass, and he is so entertaining because his jackassery is constantly putting him in crazy situations.

That's not to say that the characters don't have any redeeming value. They all have positive attitudes about themselves, which is a good quality.

We all have selfish tendencies, which make the Archer characters easy to relate to. But I respectfully disagree that anyone on that show is portrayed in a positive manner.

How much has "Peter and the Wolf" influenced your work?

Do you believe state sponsored Russian interference in the US political process is normal or justified because of US interference in Soviet political process?
