The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Knowledge is understanding Frankenstein isn't the monster
Wisdom is understanding that Frankenstein is the monster
Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein
And THAT'S how I got into Juilliard!
Ethics is understanding that the reason he's the monster is because he's a neglectful and abusive parent.
Oenology is the understanding that all differences can be resolved by ingesting copious amounts of spirits.
More like an absent parent.
Knowledge is having read the book and seeing both parties acknowledge that their relationship is familial, that Frankenstein is a surname, and thus recognizing that there is both the Doctor and Monster Frankenstein.
They're both Frankenstein, and also they're both monsters. Victor shouldn't have made the monster, and he should've done more to stop it, but the monster was also an asshole. Being treated like a monster doesn't make it okay to act like one.
And actually reading the book is understanding that Frankenstein wasn't the monster
His biggest crime was abandoning his creation. His creation's biggest crime was the multiple murders
I'm not going to justify the murders, especially the child, but the common people were beating him everywhere he went. This guy was a genius who just wanted a friend.
Frankenstein's biggest crime was allowing Justine to be executed.
