Information is physical? I'm gonna need a source on that one.

Information is physical?

Information only exists in the world in the form of physical media, such as computer circuits, DNA or electrical/neuron pattern in your brain.

Okay, true, but that's not the situation described in the comic.

Pretty sure math is intrinsic to the universe and wasn't written down anywhere until we discovered it.

That depends on which side of "math is an invention" or "math was discovered" you fall into.
