Here it is - the announcement for the next gimmick! This gimmick I am shamelessly stealing from the fabulous Kate Beaton.
Kate (who has a fantastic comic that you should read if you haven’t already) recently did a series of 20 comics about famous historical figures, based on suggestions from her readers. So I’ve decided that starting next month, I will do the same thing, but with philosophers rather than general historical figures, and 12 rather than 20 (I don’t produce comics nearly as quickly as Kate does).
So here is the deal - I will take the first 12 suggestions, and make philosopher comics out of them over the course of February. So just leave me a comment here or send me an e-mail, and let me know which famous philosopher you would like to see a comic about!

Dan Dennett? I think you did David Chalmers already.
Maybe Saint Augustine if Dennett doesn’t float your boat.

Please please please please please do Spinoza. Or Schopenhauer. I could suggest ten other names, but I’ll stop!

Graham Priest! Do you really want to be ‘that guy who did two comics about dialetheism,’ when you could be ‘that guy who did *three* comics about dialetheism?’
