Panel 1
Woman with glasses: I created a device that records every word you say.

Panel 2
Woman with glasses: It converts each sentence into concepts organized by relations. For example, "cat = cute" or "game and friends = fun."
(A man with red hair and a yellow shirt listens.)

Panel 3
Woman with glasses: Via this complete listing of all connections, I have discovered that you hold 7 trillion socially repulsive views.

Panel 4
Woman with glasses: Consider the following three connections you've proposed:
1) Hitler = evil
2) evil = confusing
3) love = confusing

Panel 5
Woman with glasses: From this, we can conclude that you believe "Hitler = love."

Panel 6
Man: I think your logic is a little confusing.
Woman with glasses: Oh WOW. Straight for the Hitler comparison.

Votey:
Off-panel voice (woman): You are worse than love.
(Close-up of the man's face looking weary and resigned.)

A six-panel SMBC comic. A woman with glasses and dark hair explains an invention to a red-haired man in a yellow shirt. Panel 1: "I created a device that records every word you say." Panel 2: "It converts each sentence into concepts organized by relations. For example, 'cat = cute' or 'game and friends = fun.'" Panel 3: "Via this complete listing of all connections, I have discovered that you hold 7 trillion socially repulsive views." Panel 4: "Consider the following three connections you've proposed: 1) Hitler = evil, 2) evil = confusing, 3) love = confusing." Panel 5: "From this, we can conclude that you believe 'Hitler = love.'" Panel 6, the man replies, "I think your logic is a little confusing," and the woman shoots back, "Oh WOW. Straight for the Hitler comparison." — flipping the accusation by treating his mild criticism as itself an evil comparison. Votey: a weary close-up of the man's face as the woman's voice declares from off-panel, "You are worse than love."
