Literary Misconceptions Comic - Tom Gauld’s Witty Clarification #1348881 (License: Personal Use)

The comic features a stitched protagonist (resembling Frankenstein’s monster) engaging in a dialogue with a curious child across four panels. The child conflates creators with characters-e.g., thinking Van Helsing created Dracula or that Captain Ahab is from Dracula-and the protagonist gently clarifies each error, culminating in a tongue-in-cheek realization about superhero parentage. Signed by acclaimed cartoonist Tom Gauld, the piece blends literary literacy with deadpan humor.
