Why can't it be both? What's wrong with using his Internet Fame for something like this?


That's kind of what I'm getting at with the line "I guess good can come of anything", but I suppose I'm instinctively wary of 'good causes' with a media spearhead.

e: I just read more closely - The Oatmeal is apparently raising funds for an existing organisation, and the IndieGoGo funds go directly to them. In this case I fold, this is definitely a good use of his fame.


Also, @Oatmeal is famously nuts about Tesla. His interest is neither casual nor recent.
