Notes
Grakk and his artist where accused of corrupting the youth on his planet with his comic causing all sorts of mayhem, this lead 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 then capable of ruining their own mind, Grakk goes to plan B making Video games.
This mirrors the modern day argument over how videogames 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 where corrupting the youth of America.
