Explanation for Non-Wikipedians
English: The comic is a parody on the wide-spread Template Citation needed on the English Wikipedia. Its message is that politicians should state their sources (and stop telling lies), just like Wikipedia tries to.

Deutsch: Der Comic ist eine Parodie auf die in der Englischen Wikipedia weitverbreitete Vorlage Citation needed (Zitat/Quelle benötigt). Die Aussage ist, dass Politiker besser auch ihre Quellen nennen sollten (anstatt zu lügen), genauso wie Wikipedia es versucht.
