Description

Here's the transcription of the comic text:

Panel 1: Time machines don’t make sense.

Panel 2: Why not? Step in the machine, press a button, go to a different time.

Panel 3: Suppose it works like that. What happens if you put one machine inside another and have the outer one go back while the inner one goes forward?

Panel 4: Well, okay, what if the outer machine creates its own internal time while it’s traveling? Then, the inner machine only travels in internal time.

Panel 5: Stupid.

Panel 6: Suppose you put a person in each of those machines. The outer person doesn’t age while he goes back in time, and the inner person doesn’t age going forward.

Panel 7: Then the inner ones get lost. Now they’re from different times and traveled different ways, but now share space, time, and now. That’s…

Panel 8: Hrrk.

Panel 9: Dammit. They always have an aneurysm before I hit the really weird stuff.

Panel 10: (An image of a person lying down)
