Since red guy is totally not a monster, it makes much more sense to compare them to the creator than to the monster. And since this is a comic, the words are written and therefore read/ seen or – in universe – watched.

But his hair looks like the stereotypical description of Frankenstein's monster, not Dr. Frankenstein who as far as I am aware doesn't have a stereotyped hair style

That said, my favorite pedantic response would be: Dr. Frankenstein was the monster. And his child should share his last name anyways.

Frankenstein didn't have a doctorate, and the monster murdered people in cold blood. I suppose you could argue that Victor was also a monster (particularly for allowing Justine to die when he could have saved her if he'd spoken up and taken responsibility for his actions) but the monster was definitely a monster, albeit a sympathetic one.
