This was a seriously dangerous situation, they were gonna lose their house to an imaginary friend they took in who suckered, tricked, and conned right out of their own home. Where as the Space nutboogies and the whole "foster physics" thing made it kind of hard to watch because it was so completely bizarre.

This wasn't that complicated to understand, and I loved the idea of using one of our favorite and most famous presidents as the face for the villain.

Agreed. EC had an actual problem that was the basis for the story and MBION was kind of all over the place. Although I'm not sure what made them decide to make Li'l Lincoln a pen, but hey, it worked.
