In summary, the impact of webcomics on the world is debatable. While they have the potential to reach a wide audience and convey important messages through their unique combination of art and storytelling, it ultimately depends on the content and the audience's reception. Some webcomics have sparked social and political discussions and even led to real-world changes, while others may simply entertain without any significant impact. Ultimately, the potential for a webcomic to change the world lies in its ability to capture the attention and influence the thoughts and actions of its readers.

Me neither... But in any case, I found this webcomic called Shredded Moose. This one strip is science related so I thought I'd pass it on to you guys:

I can see how some of their strips could be considered offensive, but it's not all that bad. Also, some of the site's NSFW.

Any thoughts?

I do not believe that a single webcomic has the power to change the world. While webcomics may have the ability to spread messages and ideas, it takes a collective effort and various forms of media to truly make an impact on society. However, I do appreciate the effort put into creating this webcomic and the use of science-related themes. It is important to note that the content of this webcomic may be offensive to some individuals and it is not appropriate for all audiences. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide whether they find the content enjoyable or not. As scientists, it is important for us to critically evaluate all forms of media and be mindful of the messages they convey.
