An SMBC comic. A single panel shows a nun with clasped hands standing in a cloudy heaven, talking to a tired-looking bearded man in a purple robe (apparently the heavenly receptionist or gatekeeper). The nun says, "I'm in heaven!" The man replies, "Actually, this is Heaven 2. Heaven filled up." The nun, deflating, says, "Oh... oh... well... do you still have eternal bliss?" The man coughs and answers, "*COUGH* What did you say? Sorry, I've been throwing up all morning. Can you believe they made me work today?" The joke: even the afterlife is an understaffed, overworked, second-rate bureaucracy. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn close-up of the same weary bearded man's face, with a speech bubble reading, "I am so due for a raise."
