quote-2
Explanation
The comic is about how quotations are stripped from their original context and used misleadingly. In the first panel, a character explains the process: "I don't get why you read all these weird old books." The response outlines "The Quotatron" method -- if you read long enough through someone's body of work, you can find a statement that, taken out of context, sounds like it serves your argument, even if it was meant completely differently in its original context.
The next panel continues: "You can then take that tiny fragment, put it at the front of a book on an important topic, and now it looks like the author endorses your ideas." But another character objects: "No quote could be worth that!" to which the reply is something like: "Mine's shorter. You may guarantee your enemies never rest."
The final panel shows a page from "Chapter 2: Logical Identities and Principles of Boolean Algebra" with the epigraph: "'Very well! Then I'll have pussy.' -- Augustus de Morgan, Monday, August 21, 1866."
The joke attacks the common practice of using impressive-sounding quotes from famous thinkers as epigraphs for academic or intellectual books. The comic points out that anyone who has written enough material will inevitably have said something that, ripped from context, sounds either profound or absurd. The punchline delivers on this by attributing a hilariously vulgar-sounding quote to Augustus de Morgan -- the actual logician behind De Morgan's Laws in Boolean algebra -- placed as an epigraph for a serious mathematics textbook chapter. The quote almost certainly referred to something completely innocent in its original 1866 context (likely a cat), but placed at the front of a chapter on Boolean algebra, it becomes spectacularly inappropriate and funny.
