One thing I really appreciate about these comics is that they don’t pretend Mr. True is a good person universally. He has his motivations and his flaws, and he’s certainly not perfect, but he tries.

He’s got a very black-and-white world view though.

Exactly, it makes him more relatable. You nailed it. We've all been to some social game where someone says "I'll teach you" and it's miserable for the learner, too. EDIT: I meant that often in such a situation, the person who offered to teach you drops you like a hot potato!
