I, a guy who has run a blog about comic strips for the better part of two decades now, am, as you might imagine, a huge nerd. Nevertheless, I have significant reservations about the way that nerd culture has more or less taken over the world, dominating the entertainment industry while fans still endlessly complain that their superhero pals don't get the respect they deserve. That's why I'm glad to see that there's still one outpost in the comics willing to make fun of the nerds, and it makes sense that it's the home of America's favorite working-class British alcoholic. (Intelligent Life also makes nerds look ridiculous, but I'm pretty sure that's not on purpose.)
