WE ARE ALL a little nuts, and yes, the faces are less of a happy appearance.
Little yellow happy people, occasionally trying to maim/kill/imprison one

I like the introduction of a few new faces here and there, but nothing beats
an army of happy Black Falcons, or a Pirate ship merrily sailing along to
battle!
