I am a total sucker for mad scientists. Even though bad/insensitive/unrealistic depictions of mental illness normally piss me off, I just can't get enough of cackling, unbalanced scientists with highly questionable ethics.

I am completely unabashed about my love for the mad scientist and related tropes, though.

Personally I know that it can be a minefield for depiction of mental illness, but it's the actually mostly sane ones that I love the most, because the lengths to which they'll stretch their ethical limits, that's the fun part to watch. And then when they BSOD after seeing what they've done... that goes all the way back to Frankenstein, man.

I do hope you read Girl Genius.

Cackling mad scientists FTW!

I used to, but I haven't read it for a couple years! I've been wanting to get back into it, though. What a good comic.

Also Narbonic. and Skin Horse too.

Narbonic is seriously one of the smartest, most clever takes on mad science I've ever seen. It's so good. Shaenon Garrity is a frickin' genius.

My family knows to be really leery every time they can hear me shout "FOR SCIENCE!" in the kitchen.
