The ascent of animated Man (and Mouse)
And last but certainly not least, Steven Jay Gould on the evolution of Mickey Mouse. Where the Batmobile and Superman's changes amount to different sideburn (or fin) lengths, Mickey continually becomes more infant-like, and less rat-like. Gould makes the point that this mirrors human evolution, as we're a neotenic species. Meaning that we're primates frozen in an earlier state of maturity.
Which pretty much describes the phenomenon of superhero comic websites, doesn't it?
