The Superheroes of Indexing and Editing

23 April 2024

Back in February I mentioned some of the dad jokes in funerary services books, such as undead Wolverine’s alter-ego Cadaverine. Today I am continuing to fill out my indexing and editing superhero team with a new mini-team: the Logistikons. Doesn’t that sound like a team of heroes from an 1980s Saturday-morning cartoon show? A spin-off of Captain Planet, perhaps. They’re a very nerdy, tech-savvy, and slightly bureaucratic bunch with a penchant for philosophy. If the TMNT could be named for artists, surely we can have a set named for philosophers. Their groupies and occasional friends probably have names like Meno and Thrasymachus.

Naturally, the Logistikons face off against the Epistêmikons.
