A four-panel comic titled "IMPORTANT MOMENTS IN PHILOSOPHY." A curly-haired woman tries to decline sleeping with the philosopher Nietzsche (a man with a large bushy mustache), but each of her attempts is cut off by him spouting one of his famous quotes. Panel 1: She says "Nietzsche, I dunno if we should sleep together," and he interrupts, "Morality is the herd instinct of the individual!" Panel 2: "It's just a bad idea to" / "I will teach you the Overman!" Panel 3: "It's just that I have secondary stage syphil-" / "The happiness of man is: I will. The happiness of woman is: he wills." Panel 4: A close-up of the woman's unimpressed face as an off-panel voice (Nietzsche) says, "Take off your pants." Votey: A close-up sketch of Nietzsche's face beside a speech bubble reading, "Whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger" — implying he's shrugging off her syphilis warning.
