Description

Here is the transcription of the text in the comic:

Panel 1: Woman: "Suppose there exists a triangle, ABC."
Man (interrupting): "NO!"

Panel 2: Man: "I will not! Why do we always let mathematicians get away with this stuff??"
Another Man: "Have any of you seen an object made of infinitely thin, perfectly straight line segments??"

Panel 3: Man: "Suppose pixies exist and suppose they all crap purple monkeys!"
Another Man: "He's a radical empiricist! Seize him!"

Panel 4: Officer: "You're coming with us, pal!"
Man: "You can't be certain of that!"

The comic presents a humorous debate about mathematical concepts and empirical evidence.
