In today’s Work the Author uses a mainstay of his genre, the Venn Diagram, to make an observation about his self-identified cultural subgroups. One group, “geeks” (defined as carnival performers who perform disgusting acts such as eating rotten food) is compared to another group, “nerds” (defined as those who are singly minded people devoted a given field of study, even to extremes). The author notes that the only people who really care about the difference between these groups are people who are in the intersection of these two groups.
This comic makes the humorous observation that while many geeks do not like being called obsessed and many nerds refuse to eat rotten food, only a member of both subsets would ever actually use both these words in the same sentence.
