Guerrilla ontologist, intellectual prankster, and an influential figure in the counter-culture of the 20c.

Encourages people to think for themselves, especially in regards to rigid categories of belief, thought, and knowledge. Questions the semantical import of the word 'is' and its derivatives of being, and promotes a mode of thinking encapsulated in Maybe Logic, and the modification of the English language into E-Prime, which avoids the pitfalls of 'issness'.

RAW on Wikipedia.

Can be seen in Issue04 on page 4 upper right panel, at least, it's a close representation.
