eulogy

A webcomic. Main panel: on a stage, a person stands at a podium giving a eulogy next to a framed portrait of a smiling older man with glasses. Dark silhouettes of the audience are in the foreground. The eulogist says, "...and although we are sad at his passing, we can take comfort in knowing that Erik's revealed preference is apparently death." A caption beneath reads: "Economists give the best funeral speeches." The joke uses the economic concept of revealed preference (you prefer what you choose) to absurdly conclude the deceased preferred dying. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the same somber eulogist adding, "Chose it despite the infinite opportunity cost!"
