false
Original: false on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Transcript
Panel 1:
Woman (red hair): This statement is false.
Man (brown hair): But if it's false, it's true, and if it's true, it's false.
Panel 2:
Woman: No. It isn't. It's true.
Man: Only because you haven't defined what a logical statement is.
Panel 3:
Woman: According to the journal theory of logic, all self-referential statements are true during the day and false at night.
Man: In local time, it is exactly 1pm. Daytime. Thus, the statement is true. In five or six hours, the statement will be false.
Panel 4:
Man: That doesn't seem right.
Woman: You know what else doesn't seem right? Running around claiming you've found a paradox when you have no stated axiomatic system, like a chump.
Panel 5:
Man: The goal of discussion isn't winning.
Woman: Like a chump.

A six-panel comic depicting an argument between a brown-haired man and a red-haired woman about the liar paradox. He says 'This statement is false,' then notes that if it's false it's true and if it's true it's false. She flatly insists 'No, it isn't, it's true,' and says he hasn't defined what a logical statement is. She invents an authority on the spot: 'According to the journal theory of logic, all self-referential statements are true during the day and false at night.' She declares it is exactly 1pm, daytime, so the statement is true, and will become false in five or six hours. When he protests that this doesn't seem right, she retorts that what really isn't right is running around claiming you've found a paradox with no stated axiomatic system, 'like a chump.' He pleads, 'The goal of discussion isn't winning,' and she repeats, 'Like a chump.' Votey: a handwritten caption reads 'The loudest person is the most logical!!' beneath a small doodle of a smug face wearing sunglasses.
