Not Actually Indie
Well, I do meet a lot of people these days who call themselves nerds who're really not. None of them have turned into blob monsters yet though.
...eventually, we will reach a maximum entropy state where nobody has their own socks or underwear, or knows who to ask to get them back.
Clearly, the blob-monster spies are targeting scientists so as to soften up humanity's defenses ahead of full invasion.
I think this is probably a reference to the kerfuffle a couple weeks back where some fellow posted a blog complaining about "posers" coming to his geeky conventions, attractive women wearing costumes or geeky shirts for the sole purpose of "getting attention" from the fanboys present, without actually being trufen. This went over with female fans, feminists, cosplayers and other internet denizens about as well as you'd expect.
I read that comic two days ago. I only just realized today why the thing that happened at the end happened. >_>
Yet another depressing comic
