[edit] Mariko

Given the Latin-American decendancy of the author could it be argued or inferred that the name of the asian character Mariko is in someway a reference to the derogatory spanish term "marico" (homosexual). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.109.44.212 (talk) 04:05, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] S. Bailey

Many early strips are co-credited with S. Bailey (presumably then-labmate Sean Bailey), yet Bailey is not credited on the website or in compilations. Someone familiar with this situation should comment. Calbaer 07:30, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Phdcomicslogo.gif

Image:Phdcomicslogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Shouldn't we merge this with the other entry in wikipedia named "PhD comics"?

That page is a Redirect to this page, not an actual page itself at all. DMacks (talk) 23:11, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is this statement accurate?

I’m uncertain about the character description on Mariko, specifically relating to the nameless hero in “…at which the hero works for a brief stretch of time.” I recently read through the entire thing and don’t recall the hero ever working outside his lab. GromXXVII (talk) 21:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I read through the comic some time ago, and while I don't remember the exact strip, if it's any good, I do remember that he did work for a short while with Mariko. That's the time he tells his sister Dee that he quit grad school. He never quite works up the courage to actually tell his parents or leave, though. Roshangeorge (talk) 10:31, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
