      Don’t even need XKCD for it. The monster self proclaims himself as Victor Frankenstein’s son, giving himself the Frankenstein surname and in another part is referred to as the new Adam. Adam Frankenstein is his name.

    This always reminds me of that one joke my iPhone‘s Siri once told me that left me in tears:

    What do you get when you cross a dog with an octopus?

    Tap for answer

    A reprimand involving the bioethics commission and the immediate withdrawal of all research funding.

    Obligatory reminder that as his de-facto son the creature should be named Frankenstein as well.

      Obligatory addendum that as a creation of Victor Frankenstein, calling the monster “a Frankenstein” is no more inaccurate than calling Starry Night “a Van Gogh,” or a 2003 Aztek “a Pontiac.”

    One Frankenstein can make many monsters but one Frankenstein Monster is just the one monster and being a monster wasn’t even his choice.

    Logically, Frankenstein is the one who ethically and morally can be deemed Bad, not the monster.
