Text in the Comic:

He is saying: “AND THE LORD SPAKE, SAYING ‘BEHOLD, NOW I HAVE MADE GRAMMARS AS MULTITUDINOUS AS THE STARS. LET ALL WORD ORDERS SHINE FORTH IN THEIR VARIED LEXICONS, AND LET EVERY PHONEME DWELL IN SOME MOUTH!’”

Below the image, the text reads: “Linguists have their own version of the Babel myth.”
