Text of comic:
REGEX GOLF:
"You try to match one group but not the other. /m|[tn]|b/ matches Star Wars subtitles but not Star Trek."
"Cool!"
META-REGEX GOLF:
"So I wrote a program that plays Regex Golf with arbitrary lists..."
META-META-REGEX GOLF:
"...but I lost my code, so I'm grepping for files that look like Regex Golf Solvers."
"...AND BEYOND"
"Really, this is all /(meta-)*regex golf/."
"Now you have INFINITE problems."
"No, I had those already."
HOVER SUBTITLE:
/bu|[rn]t|[coy]e|[mtg]a|j|iso|n[hl]|[ae]d|lev|sh|[lnd]i|[po]o|ls/
apparently this matches the last names of elected US presidents but not their opponents
