A single-panel SMBC comic. A bearded, gray-haired man (Moses) stands at the base of a mountain holding a stone tablet, with a glowing yellow divine presence in the upper-left corner representing God's voice. Moses asks, 'Uh... maybe some specifics?' God replies, 'What, you want f**kin' bullet points?' Moses says, 'Just, like... how about ten particulars?' God answers, 'Fine.' Below, a close-up of a classic Ten Commandments-shaped stone tablet shows the carved text: 'DON'T BE A DICK.' The joke: the commandments boil down to one blunt rule. Votey (bonus panel): a rough black-and-white sketch of a man with a raised finger, mouth open, shouting, 'Quick! Guys, stop murdering!'
