A five-panel comic set in the clouds. A bearded man with a halo (Jesus) talks with a large glowing yellow oval representing God. God asks, "So, how'd it go?" Jesus replies, "You know how I do the water into wine trick?" God: "Yeah." Jesus: "And you know how some groups don't have the alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes?" God: "Yeah, they... oh crap." A final panel under a banner reading "Subsequently..." shows an older lecturer at a podium saying, "It's not entirely clear why Christianity never blossomed in Asia." The joke: serving wine at sacraments alienated populations with low alcohol tolerance. Votey: a smiling Jesus says, "Drink all you want. It's kosher!"
