One thing that has intrigued me since the writers implied Wooten had a lot of money was how he's reacts to it.  Money in itself is not inheritly evil, but it's how you spend or give attention to it that can create problems.  The primary reason Wooten doesn't let people know is that he doesn't want his family to know.  His grandfather knew of course that he drew the comic books for Powerboy, but he didn't want the rest of them to know.  I have a feeling that Wellington would still look down on Wooten even if he knew because it's a comic book not a serious business like he has. 

We know that Whit makes a substansial amount of money, yet it doesn't seem to bother him when people know about it.  In fact in Odyssey it's common knowledge they know about the Universal Press Foundation.  People don't seem to treat him any differently in light of that fact. 

My feelingt that Wooten's family is the primary reason he hasn't told any of his friends in Odyssey as to his primary job.  Which is why I think Wooten has major trust issues when it comes to this.  Wooten's been in Odyssey long enough that he should know his friends (Connie, Eugene, Whit, and Tom) will keep his secret.  I'm sure Wooten's half waiting for Grady to blurt the secret out anyway.  The only person that might give him pause to say anything is Bart Rathbone and for good reason.  

I think sooner or later Wooten will have to come to grips with his secert.  His friends, however, will be encouraging and supportive when the secret gets blurted out and we will have a Whit and Wooten moment.  Whit will give him sound advice and Wooten won't feel so crummy that it's been blurted out.  My question is if Wooten doesn't want anyone knowing it's him drawing the comic, then whose name is on they by line?
