At least it's trademarked by a guy that wants to protect it and not a corporation that would sue anyone who uses it.

I definitely don't think it should be able to be trademarked at all though.

Oh, I guess I didn't read that far. Well that's cool then.

My dad saw this painted on a sidewalk recently and was really curious what it meant. He was disappointed I think to hear it was just a “cool S” so maybe I’ll send him this comic!

Doodled by someone in their brain on lsd is what I heard. The l double helix I think it was.

But yes all children draw this S everywhere in the world for no reason.

DNA is a double helix. The image bottom right shows only a single helix. For a double helix, think of a rollercoaster riding the track. There needs to be 2 rails going around for the rollercoaster to attach to.

Yeah, ok I see it now. I was looking at it as a thick bar on the outside where that could be better viewed as a double line.
