Panel 1:
A priest (a smiling man in black clerical garb with a white collar) gestures expansively with one arm, addressing a young boy with reddish hair standing beside him. The background is purple.
Priest: Just imagine how fine-tuned the universe is! Why, if there weren't just the right composition of elements in Earth, we might not have tectonic plates! And then there'd hardly be any earthquakes at all!
The boy looks up at him with a flat, unimpressed expression.
Votey:
A close-up of the priest's face, drawn in black and white, looking smug and dismissive.
Priest: And tsunamis? PFF! Forget about it!

A smiling priest in a black cassock and white collar flings one arm out wide, enthusiastically lecturing a small red-haired boy who stands beside him looking unimpressed against a purple background. The priest gushes: "Just imagine how fine-tuned the universe is! Why, if there weren't just the right composition of elements in Earth, we might not have tectonic plates! And then there'd hardly be any earthquakes at all!" The joke is that he is praising the universe's design while listing natural disasters as if they were blessings. Votey (aftercomic): a black-and-white close-up of the priest's smug face as he adds, "And tsunamis? PFF! Forget about it!"
