#1589: Frankenstein explain

[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.
