Existential Comics is a webcomic about philosophy created by Corey Mohler, a software engineer in Portland, Oregon.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]Mohler created the comic in December 2013[2] in an attempt to help popularize philosophy through comedy.[3] The comic tends to depict philosophers of different backgrounds and often has them interacting and arguing with each other.[4] It also gives textual descriptions of the jokes and associated philosophy to help educate readers.[5] In May 2018, Mohler called Elon Musk "the villain from Atlas Shrugged". Musk responded during SpaceX's launch of a Falcon 9 rocket.[6]
Philosophers
[edit | edit source]As the name implies, existentialists are often featured in the comic.[7] The comic has examinined a wide variety of thought from Pre-Socratic philosophy to contemporary philosophy.[4] Mohler has described both Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir as his favorite philosophers.[5] Alongside existentialism, Mohler has also written extensively about Stoicism.[8]
