Silent Hammer

In this comic, we see the return of the Black Hat character, who this time is using his silent hammer invention for trouble.  The skeptics society is a group based on the fact that they must apply reason to all situations and only supports claims that have compelling and complete evidence.  Obviously, the Black Hat character knew this before puling this prank on the "Chair of the American Skeptics Society".  There does not appear to be such a title in real life, but Michael Shermer is the Executive Director of the Skeptics Society.

Additionally, it is probably not a coincidence that the Black Hat character returns on comic number 666.
