Cool S
(mander.xyz)
I can't beleive it's been trademarked.
What an asshole.
At least it's trademarked by a guy that wants to protect it and not a corporation that would sue anyone who uses it.
I definitely don't think it should be able to be trademarked at all though.
Oh, I guess I didn't read that far. Well that's cool then.
My dad saw this painted on a sidewalk recently and was really curious what it meant. He was disappointed I think to hear it was just a “cool S” so maybe I’ll send him this comic!
If only Rosalind had found it out this way, instead of all that radiation giving her cancer
So that means teenage-me helped discover DNA? Heck yea 🤘
Doodled by someone in their brain on lsd is what I heard. The l double helix I think it was.
But yes all children draw this S everywhere in the world for no reason.
am draw ._. instead

The double helix depicted in the comic twists the wrong way (inverted chirality).
Randall, I'm disappointed in you :)
No no, I said consummate S!
DNA is a double helix. The image bottom right shows only a single helix. For a double helix, think of a rollercoaster riding the track. There needs to be 2 rails going around for the rollercoaster to attach to.
It's a double helix.
But it's not. Most people think DNA and the double helix look this this 
But that a common misconception. A true double helix (and DNA) look like this 
I know this cause I have a DNA tattoo looking like the first one and have been corrected once or twice haha
It's not the same double helix as DNA, but it is a double helix. It's not a single helix.
~~You're wrong~~ that's me being a jerk for no reason
I misunderstood what you said cause it's waay to late for me my b
if it's on the left side of your body, get a correctified version on your right side. Then you can show them the right one if they point out it's wrong.
Yeah, ok I see it now. I was looking at it as a thick bar on the outside where that could be better viewed as a double line.
