Yeah, I was going for “poindextrose”, that being the specific component of nerd sweat that causes the effect. But I think the judges would have to accept the first answer, since the question wasn’t specific enough. (But “This component of nerd sweat…” would have been too easy. )

I didn’t remember the Mr. Plow thing. An alternate answer would then be because he “Ain’t never been Slapped wit no Doolin’ Glove before!”

Yes. I said it was the “flaw” in the comic because I am a geeky fanboy who knows that ANY mark in a comic is considered a flaw!
