English is bent to our will in daily life and yet people act like God wrote the law on how to speak English and we're all committing sins of biblical proportions.
No. You know what ? "Me and Mark" is perfectly okay because you understood exactly what the sentence meant. That's the purpose of language.
Several counter-points:
I believe if you check closely, this rebuttal is ironclad.
It's about respect for the reader or listener. Using correct language eases the burden of deciphering what you are trying to say by using consistent forms. Otherwise it take extra effort for them to unscramble your words and figure out your meaning.
And yes, of course someone can figure out that when you say "me and Mike" you almost certainly mean to say "Mike and I". But you're making it harder for them by not bothering to learn or use the correct form.
Mark and I hate you
Seeing as there is very clear paternal symbolism throughout, and even internal dialog of the minster referring to the "doctor" as his father, I think it's pretty reasonable to assume the minster took the same surname.
I read that as minister and not monster and was very confused. I thought I must have missed a reference to a different movie.
Ah, I made the same mistake!
I suspect it was when he wrote "minister" that led me to read it as "minister", but it really could have been anything. I'm kind of tired, so that might have been it.
Now I want to see a party of all pedants where everyone enjoys correcting others. Finally, that phrase won't be sarcastic!

Since red guy is totally not a monster, it makes much more sense to compare them to the creator than to the monster. And since this is a comic, the words are written and therefore read/ seen or – in universe – watched.
But his hair looks like the stereotypical description of Frankenstein's monster, not Dr. Frankenstein who as far as I am aware doesn't have a stereotyped hair style
That said, my favorite pedantic response would be: Dr. Frankenstein was the monster. And his child should share his last name anyways.
No, Red killed and ate his wife.
Guess I suck at reading between the lines...
honestly, the fault is on you, everyone else (literally everyone) noticed it but you
I never know what anyone is talking about.
Knowledge is knowing that the monster isn’t Frankenstein.
Wisdom is knowing that the monster is Frankenstein.
Intelligence is knowing that haircut is fucking terrible.
I want to party with Dan!
