I had to look her up, I didnt know she was also involved in The Maxx. That is hands down the absolute best premise for a psychological story line. I didnt like the show, but the idea was there.
Faust's run had tons of intentional adult references, at one point they even cracked a joke about "spiking the punch" at a party.
It makes sense when you consider that she was deliberately trying to make the show tolerable or even amusing for parents so they'd spend time with the kids while watching it instead of wanting to shoot themselves whenever it was on. It's the same thing classic cartoons like Looney Tunes used to do. Sure the kids love the slapstick and that's about all they see, but those cartoons are packed full of adult humor.
