Panel 1:
An astronaut in a spacesuit, smiling, holds up his hand and looks at it. He is also holding a triangular wedge (a Toblerone bar). A NASA patch and an American flag are on his suit. Behind him, through a porthole, is the blackness of space.
Astronaut: WHOA! A SIXTH FINGER! OOH, AND A TOBLERONE! THIS WAS TOTALLY WORTH THE RISK!
Caption (below panel): What really happens when you go past the speed of light.
Votey:
The astronaut gives a thumbs-up (his hand now has six fingers).
Astronaut: Thanks, Jesus!
Offscreen voice: The Universe was designed for you!

A cartoon astronaut in a spacesuit (NASA patch, American flag) smiles and holds up one hand while gripping a triangular Toblerone chocolate bar in the other. Behind him a porthole shows black space. He exclaims: "WHOA! A SIXTH FINGER! OOH, AND A TOBLERONE! THIS WAS TOTALLY WORTH THE RISK!" A caption below reads: "What really happens when you go past the speed of light." The joke: faster-than-light travel mutates him an extra finger and conjures candy, which he considers a great deal. Votey: the astronaut gives a thumbs-up with his now six-fingered hand and says "Thanks, Jesus!" An offscreen voice replies, "The Universe was designed for you!"
