[PATCH] manual: Improve quality of comic content in abort [BZ #23168]


There are complaints about the joke in abort section being low-quality. 
2.28 will include this comic content, so improving quality is desired. 
Discussion about this solution starts at
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-05/msg00136.html

Quote from relevant standard:
In business and in life, a sense of humor is an essential
characteristic.
