no-communication
Original: no-communication on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Transcript
Panel 1:
A bald, bearded man wearing glasses and a suit with a red tie (speaking): "According to the no-communication theorem, information cannot travel faster than light. It follows that non-information can move at any speed."
Caption (below the panel): Professor Plait proved that campaign speeches are capable of superluminal velocity.
Votey:
A close-up sketch of the same bearded man's face, with handwritten text: "If a campaign speech feels like a step backward, that's because it is literally time travelling."

A bald, bearded man in glasses and a suit with a red tie speaks in a single panel: "According to the no-communication theorem, information cannot travel faster than light. It follows that non-information can move at any speed." A caption beneath reads: "Professor Plait proved that campaign speeches are capable of superluminal velocity." The joke: since campaign speeches carry no real information, they aren't bound by the light-speed limit. The votey is a hand-drawn close-up of the same man's face with the handwritten line: "If a campaign speech feels like a step backward, that's because it is literally time travelling."
