philosophy-of-sandwiches

An eight-panel comic between a man and a woman, both eating sandwiches. The man asks, "Can I have a bite of your sandwich?" He points out, "But it's the same sandwich. We ordered the same sandwich." The woman, with comically wide white eyes, retorts, "Impossible! Sandwiches are not platonic entities." She launches into a passionate argument: "The tomato in your BLT came from a different seed! Your lettuce a different field! Your bacon a different pig! You cannot taste the same mayonnaise twice!" Then, undercutting her whole philosophical point, she demands, "Gimme a bite of your sandwich, you half-wit!" The man takes a bite of her sandwich and deadpans, "It tastes about the same." He then asks, "Can I have a bite of yours?" and she flatly refuses: "Nah." Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the woman looking weary and wide-eyed, saying, "I hate Aristotelian sandwiches."
