TEXT OF COMIC:

I can't believe it. You just spent $90 on a toy light saber?

It's not a toy. It's a--

Your mom's going to kill you. That's a lot of money.

No, it isn't. There's no such thing as a large amount of money.

I can prove this logically. It proceeds from two premises: A. that one cent is not a large amount of money, and B. that you can't make a small amount of money into a large amount just by adding one cent to it.

If one cent isn't a large amount, then two cents also isn't a large amount, and neither is three cents, and so on forever. There is no juncture where one cent can make the difference between a small amount and a large amount, so they just keep being small all the way to infinity.

Somehow I don't think your mom will be convinced by that logic.

It's okay; I still have the light saber to defend myself.
