#1589: Frankenstein explain

Frankenstein

[A text only panel. Between the last two lines is a lightning bolt.]

Like many people, I’m tired of the nitpicking about Frankenstein’s monster’s name.

Luckily, Frankenstein is public domain.

Therefore, I present

xkcd’s

Frankenstein

(The monster’s name)

[Cueball is turning down a lever while looking at a monster with black hair that is lying on a bed under a bedsheet. There are two wires connecting to the neck of the monster.]

Frankenstein: Graaar!

Cueball: Frankenstein is alive! I am a modern Prometheus!

Frankenstein: Raaaar!

Cueball: To be clear, your name is Frankenstein, canonically.

Frankenstein: Graaaaar!

Frankenstein: The moon landings were faked!

Cueball: Wait, what?

[Another text only panel. The first word is written between two curvy lines.]

Fin.

There.

Feel free to call the monster “Frankenstein.”

If anyone tries to correct you, just explain that this comic is your canonical version.

Thank you.
