A single-panel SMBC comic. A figure with long brownish hair peeks just its head out of a hole in cracked, gray ground against a blue sky. A speech bubble reads: "Are the Romans gone? I'll come out if the Romans are gone." A caption beneath the panel reads: "The Second Coming wasn't as dramatic as we'd expected." The joke imagines Jesus's return as someone timidly hiding underground, still afraid of the Romans. The votey is a hand-drawn note headed "2009 New Year's Resolutions:" listing three items: "Never miss an update" (crossed out), "Eat healthy" (crossed out), and "Post drawing of own ass" (checked off). Below is a crude sketch of a bare backside with the word "BAM!" beside it, indicating the only resolution the cartoonist actually kept.
