Just sayin'.

I went back and looked up the Zombie Feynman cartoon, and am forced to admit that I have no idea what you're talking about. I thought the punchline of that was brilliant, though, because it had both the string theorist snipe and the brane/brain pun. What do you have against Mythbusters?

Z, two questions:

1. Why, if you started a webcomic, would it need to be similar to XKCD?
2. Even if it were a ripoff, why would that matter?

Flattering as that is, I would have the minor problem that any xkcd-like comic I created now would be seen, with some justice, as a ripoff. At least with fivers I'm in the opposite position. (grumble grumble movies in fifteen minutes grumble)

I'm pretty sure he just intended the snipe, not the pun. Something about his phrasing.

What do you have against Mythbusters?

Not a thing. I have something against the idea that we're in the "unscientific darkness" (though it's not out of character for Fenyman to say it).
