I predict this cartoon will be appearing all over the place here today.
I quite like Bob O'Hara's equivalent portrait of Nature Network, too.

Random Quote
The Christian view that all intercourse outside marriage is immoral was, as we see in the above passages from St. Paul, based upon the view that all sexual intercourse, even within marriage, is regrettable. A view of this sort, which goes against biological facts, can only be regarded by sane people as a morbid aberration. The fact that it is embedded in Christian ethics has made Christianity throughout its whole history a force tending towards mental disorders and unwholesome views of life.
[Bertrand Russell]

I am extremely concerned about the jocular use of violent imagery that's become standard fare here. Cartoon depictions of people being slapped, punched, and headlocked are unacceptable . Violence is never a joking matter. I fear PZ's imprimatur will encourage the already out-of-control commenters to take the next logical step and begin calling for the public beating of those they disagree with. I, for one, will be writing to Seed Media demanding that PZ be properly punished.
Oh, and I'm so clenched.

May I humbly claim credit that I saw it first in Bob's blog and sent it to PZ this morning?
But I have a question: how do you all identify all the people in the third panel? Do the esteemed sciencebloggers all know each other by face?
Posted by: DLC

March 13, 2010 8:31 PM
hm.. as Orac (the box o lights) can't move on it's own (that I know of) I would have to imagine some sort of scene like this :
Orac : "You'll have to toss me . . . "
"Don't Tell ERV "

Brayton and Myers for Greatest Science Beard ever? Pull the other one. Nobody can beat the elderly Darwin!
Now, greatest science blogging beard ever maybe, but wouldn't that just be reinforcing the male domination of the science blogging world?

@DLC:
New Definition: Mooney shot : A hit to the framing.
Love it! I've been trying to introduce new verbs into the lexicon as well. To wit:
Enkwok verb, transitive- to despoil a blog post so as to render its original meaning useless and to drive off otherwise potentially engaged commenters. An enkwokked blog post may be compared to the hull of a ship that has been compromised by barnacles.
