2799. Frankenstein Claim Permutations

@xkcdbot Single panel comic.
A table with two columns labeled claim and notes. Rows in the claim column all have an open book next to the text. All books have a tiny drawing of a body on an examination table on the top of the right page.

2799. Frankenstein Claim Permutations

@xkcdbot 1. Book labeled by M.S. with an F on the left page and a question mark on the bottom right. "No, the monster in Mary Shelley's book is unnamed. Frankenstein is the doctor who created him." Note: This is the normal claim.

2. Book labeled by M.S. with a question mark on the left page and an F on the bottom right. "No, the monster in Mary Shelley's novel is named Frankenstein." Note: Also common, and not worth getting mad about.

@xkcdbot 3. Book labeled by F with an M.S. on the left page and a question mark on the bottom right. "No, Frankenstein is the name of the author. The monster Mary Shelley created is unnamed." Note: At a glance this could pass for one of the normal claims.

@xkcdbot 4. Book labeled by question mark with an M.S. on the left page and an F on the bottom right. "No one knows who wrote the novel about doctor Mary Shelley creating the monster Frankenstein." Note: I would read this book.

5. Book labeled by question mark with an F on the left page and an M.S. on the bottom right. "No, Frankenstein is the name of the doctor. The monster he created is Mary Shelley."

6. Book labeled by F with a question mark on the left page and an M.S. on the lower right. "No, the doctor who creates Mary Shelley in Frankenstein's novel doesn't have a name."

Note shared for 5 & 6: Fully chaotic.
