Original: Disjunction on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Transcript
Panel 1:
A man with reddish-brown hair faces away from us. A bald man with a beard, wearing a teal shirt, replies.
Bald man: NO, I was NOT wrong when I said we didn't need to book tickets early. At the end of my statement, I appended a vacuously true disjunction!
Panel 2:
The reddish-brown-haired man, now seen from the front, looks angry.
Reddish-haired man: STOP APPENDING VACUOUSLY TRUE DISJUNCTIONS TO YOUR STATEMENTS!
Panel 3:
The bald bearded man, eyes closed, looks calm/smug.
Bald man: I PROMISE I WILL or 1=1
Votey:
A close-up of the reddish-haired man's face, looking strained.
Reddish-haired man: Is this funny to you? Ever since that trip to Paris you've grown distant. You use humor to cover your feelings toward me but the contempt is becoming ever more manifest.

A three-panel comic. Panel 1: A bald, bearded man in a teal shirt argues with a man who has reddish-brown hair (seen from behind). The bald man says, "No, I was NOT wrong when I said we didn't need to book tickets early. At the end of my statement, I appended a vacuously true disjunction!" Panel 2: The reddish-haired man, now facing forward and looking angry, shouts, "Stop appending vacuously true disjunctions to your statements!" Panel 3: The bald man, eyes shut and looking smug, replies, "I promise I will" followed by tiny text reading "or 1=1" — a logically empty escape clause that makes his promise vacuously true regardless of what he actually does. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the reddish-haired man's strained face as he says, "Is this funny to you? Ever since that trip to Paris you've grown distant. You use humor to cover your feelings toward me but the contempt is becoming ever more manifest."
