LordofMarzipan: Mendelian / non-Mendelian inheritance

What could the title text be about? [[Special:Contributions/208.120.153.144|208.120.153.144]] 05:45, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Rachael Ray and Emeril are two celebrity cooks in America; he has a TV show (or did at the time this was drawn); she has her own magazine. Spielberg is presumably the movie guy. {{unsigned ip|24.61.10.104}}

Speilberg is definitely "the movie guy" and most relevantly the director of ''Jurassic Park'', with which Randall has a well-documented obsession ([[87:_Velociraptors]], [[135:_Substitute]], and many others.) The overall plot -- disaster brought about by cocky scientists "toying with powerful forces" -- is the same as this comic's. Rachel Ray and Emeril would presumably be the stand-ins for ''JP'''s Drs. Sattler and Grant. --[[Special:Contributions/66.114.70.139|66.114.70.139]] 17:38, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
It looks more like a spoork (stage 2 spork) in the last panel[[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.215|141.101.99.215]] 09:16, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

could it be a knife at the last panel? [[User:Imanton1|Imanton1]] ([[User talk:Imanton1|talk]]) 03:39, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

It does look like a knife; one edge is completely straight and one is rounded. [[User:LogicalOxymoron|LogicalOxymoron]] ([[User talk:LogicalOxymoron|talk]]) 20:18, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

The first line of the explanation suggests that the spoon-spork hybrids are produced in manner "similar to Mendelian inheritance" is incorrect. In fact the process is far more similar to non-Mendelian inheritance. [[User:LordofMarzipan|LordofMarzipan]] ([[User talk:LordofMarzipan|talk]]) 06:46, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
