Aww Ceej, I missed your birthday, say sorry. Hope it was a good un'!
I'm sure your Beetle will pass just fine...how could it not with all those King related stickers holding it together??

Anyhoo, in the grand scheme of things Sadie's husband was only a minor character in '63 and I don't feel King developed him enough for us to judge whether he was truly nuts or not. From what I recall he mainly appeared to be a horrid control freak, and was aware of his actions. The reason he deserved to die was as a result of his sadistic behaviour, and not due to living with a mental health issue.
