Kirby Motivational: Talk the Talk, Walk the Walk

Jumping Jack says:
There's a lesson there for the comics industry, isn't there? You might be considered [DC's words] "content creators" for kids, publishers of things people shouldn't take too seriously, of harmless aspirational power fantasies, BUT what does that say about you that you're willing to hire people who don't subscribe to the ethos your characters do? The stories are telling us to do the right thing, to put others before ourselves, to distinguish evil from good, but the people responsible for that content can't be bothered to do the same. They aren't able to back up the moves they make.

As DC's long PR nightmare continues to spiral out of control, let us take Kirby's words to heart. Now THERE was a "content creator" who could back up his every move.

It's really simple, isn't it? As you say: talk the talk, walk the walk.
