Panel 1:
A young person (seen from behind, with reddish-brown hair) speaks to a balding priest wearing a clerical collar.
Young person: "Wait a sec. If God is all-powerful, why did he need a rib from Adam to make Eve?"
The priest looks uneasy and glances away.
Panel 2 (banner reads "EARLIER..."):
A scene resembling the Last Supper. A long-haired, bearded figure (God/Jesus) sits at a table holding a carving fork, with other long-haired figures beside him. An empty plate sits on the table.
God (the long-haired figure with the fork): "Oh, hey God! What'd you bring for the barbeque?"
Votey:
A hand-drawn close-up of the empty (mostly bare) barbeque platter with a few small cuts/pieces on it, and a carving fork resting on the plate.
Speech bubble: "A single, bloody rib!"

A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A young person with reddish-brown hair, seen from behind, asks a balding priest in a clerical collar, "Wait a sec. If God is all-powerful, why did he need a rib from Adam to make Eve?" The priest looks uncomfortable and looks away. Panel 2, labeled "EARLIER...": a Last-Supper-style scene with long-haired bearded figures at a table and an empty platter. One figure holding a carving fork says, "Oh, hey God! What'd you bring for the barbeque?" Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn close-up of a nearly empty barbeque platter with a carving fork on it; a speech bubble answers, "A single, bloody rib!" The joke: God's contribution to the cookout was the rib taken from Adam.
