Do you know about Pierre Salinger-syndrome, Mr. Taylor? It seems like your kind of factoid. Sadly it is more the case, now, than when "Lucky" Pierre testified before Congress, that certain bits of possible information, presented in certaint formats, are almost universally accepted by the general population as true, rapidly becoming "common knowledge"...and the main body of Internet wiki pages are one of those formats (but the talk section, down here, isn't-even if we were logged-in!). Try as you might, unless you actually edit it yourself (possibly needing an edit-war to accomplish) many people will take whatever is written here, as writ; if you were to directly contradict it in your strip's "Notes", many of those people would insist it is ret-con. It is the Information Age's incarnation of the Death of the Author, where not even the text itself is considered to be the authoritative source on the text.

...and some will have already read this version of the page, possibly propagating this potential factoid that 'everyone knows' to haunt you at book signings for the rest of your days... -E.E.E.
