-* Grakk and his artist were accused of corrupting the youth on his planet with his comic, causing all sorts of mayhem. This led to him and his artist moving to Earth to continue making comics. When the Doctor shuts down the comic Agrotron, commenting on how the kids on Earth are more than capable of ruining their own minds, Grakk goes to plan B, making video games. This mirrors the modern day argument over how video games corrupt the minds of the young, being more or less the same as the arguments made by Fredric Wertham in the 1950s over how comics were corrupting the youth of America.
