Description
Here's the transcription of the comic:
Panel 1:
- Character 1: "Oh, hi Mister Newton."
- Character 2: "I’m here to patent infinitesimal calculus for solutions to physics problems."
Panel 2:
- Character 2: "Don’t bother reading the claim because you won’t understand. Just accept that it’s over your head and grant me control over it."
- Character 1 (Newton): "All right, you will own the rights for seven years, at which point they will expire."
Panel 3:
- Character 1: "Nope. I now have a patent on systems changing with respect to time. Therefore, if you expire my patent, you’re violating my patent."
Panel 4:
- Character 2: "I’m just gonna go grab the manager."
- Character 1: "If you use momentum to get there, you owe me royalties."
