Explanation[edit | edit source]

This comic takes a strip from 1980 and swaps its dialogue with one from 2009 to point how similar they are.

The title, aside from being a TV Tropes page, is a recurring phrase in the dystopian tabletop game Paranoia, referring to the absolute rule of the land's ruler, "The Computer".
