love the XKCD strip…. for those unaware, the first 3 panels refer to the black harvard professor who was arrested in his own home after a neighbour saw him and his (also black) chauffeur force the lock on his door when the key jammed. the rest is what should have happened after…

Manson should have been put down like the rabid cur he is.
After cleaning fish, it’s an old standby to wipe your hands with a lemon slice to remove the fishy smell.
More risque is that fish is often served with a lemon slice.

I meant asexual as in unlike John Hinckley or Ted Bundy, he isn’t really known for his attitudes toward and perceived relationships with women. When I think of Manson, a lot of stuff come to the forefront before I think about him impregnating women (granted, I don’t know much about Manson). I’m just saying: I think the punchline is a little lazy. I think it would be funnier with a non-famous name; the joke still comes across.

It could be a mini-fridge mounted above the bar?

Why were they looking for beer in the freezer?

As an asexual person, I really don’t think Manson is asexual at all. I mean come on, he was constantly impregnating his female followers. Maybe “Love is seducing rich girls to do your nefarious bidding” would work better here. I think they just went with Manson because his name is synonymous with “crazy”.

Committing some of the most gruesome mass murders in American history and putting the entire country into fear =/= being a weirdo stalker. (And he’s not at all well-known for carving a swastika into his head: he’s well-known for butchering innocent victims.)

The artist should have gone with Hinckley. Too soon?

I’m on the same page as Kamino Neko–Manson is known for his attempts to influence and have power over others, not because of anything even remotely resembling love or romance. Really, he seems to be a pretty asexual figure.

Granted. I still thought it was a twistedly funny/awkward/weird strip. I did not read it as a stalker strip but as a “Manson in prison retrospective ruminating” strip. Whatever.
