This work is inspired by those of Gary Larson and his Far Side cartoons as well as the idea of Markovnikov addition. Gary Larson’s cartoons were a staple of my childhood and were formative to my terrible sense of humor, so it is only right to attempt a tribute. Markovnikov’s Rule describes what happens when a hydrogen attached to a halogen such bromine, chlorine, etc. reacts with an alkene, or a double bond between two Carbons. Markovnikov addition states that the halogen will be attached to the more substituted side, while the hydrogen will be attached to the less substituted side. Apologies to Gary Larson.

This is an extra credit asignment for my organic chemistry class, now back to your regularly scheduled programing.
