Nietzsche inspired Camus, Hesse, Jung, Mann, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Foucault, Kafka, Freud, Rilke, Strauss, Picasso and many others.

So he clearly had some interesting ideas to share. But yes it's a comic, so I don't expect it to do anything other than straw-man his views.

You completely misunderstand both me and the comic. The point is, as rainonmoon correctly points out, that most followers of Nietzsche are not really actually following Nietzsche.

Point of clarification: it's not straw-manning his views, but illustrating the ways his philosophy is commonly misunderstood because of the ways those ideas have been diluted in dissemination.
