Prestige and the nature of self

I saw "The Prestige" recently (after distantcam bugging me to see it for ages) and it was awesome. What follows are some VERY spoilery thoughts which you SHOULD NOT READ if you haven't seen the film. They're not about the film per se, but were inspired by a major plot point.

*SPOILER* *SPOILER* *SPOILER* *SPOILER*

Inflammatory muse

I feel a little self conscious posting a political comic about an issue I'm not that well informed about, but if I let that stop me I'd never do any at all(*). So: my latest Hapless comic, "Possibly not the best approach to child welfare".

Also, less controversially: new icon, inspired by capnoblivious posting a link to the comic in the comments to my "The Prestige" post.

(*)Yes, ok, so I do pretty much never do them, what's your point?
