The last panel is a fantasy by the artist.

This might come as a surprise, but the whole comic is. If you read the first 3 panels as being historically accurate, I see where your confusion comes from.

Anyway, you have a very unimaginative and literal approach to all this and that's just not the layer the comic communicates on. Maybe at least acknowledge that.

The one thing I really dislike about lemmy in general is that there are sooo many people like this here.

No fun. No whimsy. All philosophical challenges are puzzles meant to be conquered by misinterpreting the point and then writing a 4-line python script. It's linux people, man, I swear.

The first panel is a challenge by the author, which is real at least in so far as it's a sentiment the author actually has.

The next two are filler.

The fourth is an invented response.
