Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Everyone knows the doctor that created Mary Shelley in Frankenstein's novel doesn't have a name
Book's within arms reach but can't be bothered reading it cover to cover to confirm... but plausible.
The book is the captain's retelling of the ravings of the doctor as he lies dying on the ship. Followed by his retelling of the monster's story.
I don't recall the doctor's name ever being mentioned.
He’s just « The Doctor »
