Newton's famous quote "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants" gets a hilariously literal interpretation here. The comic explores all possible permutations of this metaphor - from a giant standing on Newton's shoulders (crushing him), to Newton giving a giant a shoulder to cry on (awkward), to Newton being a giant himself (nope), until finally landing on the correct interpretation: Newton intellectually standing on the achievements of his predecessors. Scientific progress in stick figure form - the peer review would be merciless.
