A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A figure drawn as Jesus, in a white robe with a red sash and long brown hair, stands with arms raised before a small crowd and proclaims, "Good people! I have been resurrected that you may witness the might of the Lord, and be absolved of your sins!" Panel 2, labeled "Moments prior...": The same figure sits sheepishly among clouds in heaven as a voice from above (God) asks, "Hey son, you get that pizza I ordered?" The figure mutters, "Oh geez..." The joke: the resurrection was a cover story for failing to deliver God's pizza. Votey (aftercomic): a crude hand-drawn sketch of a worried face thinking, "Shit, Rome doesn't have tomatoes yet," a follow-up gag that pizza could not have existed in that era.
