From the archives of What Things Do we pulled John Porcellino‘s comic on Diognes of Cinope. Diognes was the only pupil of Antisthenes, a source of Plato’s humiliation, and he openly mocked Alexander the Great. He was also a founder of Cynicism and he once walked the town in the daytime carrying a lamp looking for a human being.

We can’t say if he ever found one.

Now Diognes has been immortalized in a webcomic.
