A two-panel SMBC comic retelling Adam and Eve. Panel 1: In a green Garden of Eden, red-haired Eve asks the naked, red-haired Adam (who has a leaf over his crotch), 'Adam... why have you covered yourself?' He stammers, 'Uh... I, uh... I was ashamed of my nudity.' Panel 2, labeled 'EARLIER...': the same naked Adam stands by a river under a starry night, looking over his shoulder and flirtatiously calling to someone offscreen, 'Oh, hey there... whatcha doin' tonight?' The joke: Adam wasn't covering up out of shame but to hide his nudity from a hookup attempt. Votey (black-and-white sketch): Adam reads aloud from a sheet of paper, 'And in sum, we were cast out because of something Eve did' — pinning the blame entirely on Eve.
