I kind of like Jim, what with his not wanting the paintings to be banned at first (until he realized that they were killing people), and his effort to find some sort of compromise.
"Well, maybe the paintings aren't so bad after all. Screaming Green Monster is kind of weak, but White Skull-Faced Ghost has a certain charm. And while I'm not very fond of Eyeless Vampire, either, I actually kind of like Screaming Cartoon Cat in Front of Polluted City..."
