Panel 1 (single panel):
An angel with blonde hair and white wings, wearing a purple robe, stands in a cloudy heaven holding a sheet of paper and a pen. The angel speaks toward an unseen God.

Angel: HEY GOD, ANOTHER COUPLE PRAYING FOR EVERLASTING LOVE.

God (off-panel, unseen): UGH. DO THEY HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH PSYCHIC ENERGY THAT COSTS? FINE... BANISH A FEW TODDLER SOULS TO THE ABYSS.

Caption (below panel): Ever wonder why your lover's eyes seem so deep?

Votey:
A large close-up of a human eye with a brown/reddish iris. Deep within the dark pupil, instead of a normal reflection, there is a small ghostly face with an open, distressed mouth peering out.

Single-panel SMBC comic. A blonde angel in a purple robe with white wings stands in the clouds of heaven holding a notepad and pen, calling out to an off-panel God: 'Hey God, another couple praying for everlasting love.' God replies (unseen): 'Ugh. Do they have any idea how much psychic energy that costs? Fine... banish a few toddler souls to the abyss.' A caption below reads: 'Ever wonder why your lover's eyes seem so deep?' Votey (aftercomic): an extreme close-up of a brown human eye; inside the black pupil, where a reflection would be, a tiny ghostly toddler face with an open, anguished mouth stares out from the abyss.
