History
Mohler created the comic in December 2013[2] in an attempt to help popularize philosophy through comedy.[3] The comic tends to depict philosophers of different backgrounds and often has them interacting and arguing with each other.[4] It also gives textual descriptions of the jokes and associated philosophy to help educate readers.[5] In May 2018, Mohler called Elon Musk "the villain from Atlas Shrugged". Musk responded during SpaceX's launch of a Falcon 9 rocket.[6]
