A bald, bearded man in glasses and a suit (captioned as Professor Westover) stands at a lectern lecturing, one hand raised. His speech bubble reads: "When you were 15, you could've stomached fried chicken with Oreo breading, but your parents wouldn't make it. By the time you can make it yourself, you can no longer stomach it!" The caption beneath reads: "Professor Westover explains why he's an atheist" — framing the gap between desire and fulfillment as his argument against God. Votey (aftercomic): a handwritten recipe note titled RECIPE, listing: buy bucket o' chicken, crumble in oreos, mix with your tears, bake 15 minutes at 350°F — the "mix with your tears" line being the joke.
