Comments on: Anticootieism http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/26/anticootieism/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Overcomensating is a hilarious webcomic that pokes fun at anti-science quite frequently. I heartily recommend. I love it when the blogs I read come together.

Hey Phil, maybe you should start a blogroll dedicated exclusively to all the webcomics we should apparently be reading. (Or (not to derail the thread or anything) maybe we can just start naming them here in the comments.)
