A five-panel SMBC comic depicting a god-like, bearded man in a white-and-purple robe lounging in the clouds beside a giant yellow artist's palette and a smoking paintbrush. Panel 1 (no text) shows him reclining, brush trailing smoke. He says, 'Dude, I got a great idea: Pinata, filled with meat.' Then 'Ahh, yeahhh' as the brush smokes against the palette. In the final panel, on a green grassy landscape, a nude man with a leaf covering himself stands next to a brown-and-white spotted cow under the floating palette, while the god declares, 'I call it COW.' The joke: God invents the cow as a meat-filled pinata. Votey: a black-and-white sketch of a blindfolded, grinning figure swinging a long sword like a baseball bat, captioned '(Come on, hatemail.)'
