The Comix@ mailing list is made up of a bunch of hard-drinking, trash-talking computer geeks with delusions of scholarship. So when one of the members came up with the logo inside the bottle, I had to come up with my own version which I think more closely reflects the aesthetics of the mailing list.
This is not a new idea; this is the idea of the age of reason. This is the philosophy that guided the men that made the democracy that we live under. The idea that no one really knew how to run a government led to the idea that we should arrange a system by which new ideas could be developed, tried out, and tossed out if necessary, with more new ideas brought in—a trial and error system. — Richard Feynman (What Do You Care What Other People Think?•)
