I know.....my comment was tongue-in-cheek. It always amazed me that Barris had the balls to take full credit for the Batmobile!!!
I often wonder the same thing when I see pictures of the poverty some folks lived through. You've just gotta hope they found a way out of the situations they were born into. Unfortunately, a lot of people today don't understand what some folks have to struggle through in life.
In a strange way it propels some to become very successful and never look back. I know of some who were able to carve out a wonderful life from a rocky start. They are not afraid to take a shot until they make it, they have nothing to loose. It's the ones who were on top from that first smack in the ass that worry me.
