User blog comment:Cartoonprincess/Are Carly and Spencer *Too* Happy????/@comment-3126828-20110717042527

I've thought about this before and this is what I came up with. Carly is overly cheerful because she fears that otherwise she will drown in sadness. She also feels that she lacks attention. This is why she created a web show, because she lacked attention and was trying to overcome her sadness. Spencer's art reminds him of happier times when he is was with his mom and dad. Thats why they are funky and also why he spends so much time with teenagers. I think Freddie's dad either died because of a small accident. That is why his mother is so worried. She is afraid that if he is not protected enough he will wind up dead because of his father.
