Panel 1:
A single panel viewed from a sky/heavenly vantage point, looking down at a glowing orange egg-shaped form pocketed with small dark triangular holes (the Surinam toad's back, where young emerge from pits in the skin), floating above pale clouds against a dark blue background. A speech balloon issues from above, pointing down toward the toad.
Voice from above (God): "NOPE. NOPE. NOPE NOPE. THAT'S ENOUGH. EVOLUTION IS CANCELLED."
Caption below the panel: God discovers the Surinam Toad.
Votey:
A handwritten note in a box.
"Dear Evolution,
Ew.
Sincerely,
God"

A single-panel SMBC comic shown from a heavenly viewpoint looking down at clouds. Floating above the clouds is a glowing orange, egg-shaped form covered in small dark triangular holes, representing the back of a Surinam toad, whose young hatch out of pits in the mother's skin. A speech balloon from above (God) reads: "NOPE. NOPE. NOPE NOPE. THAT'S ENOUGH. EVOLUTION IS CANCELLED." A caption beneath reads: "God discovers the Surinam Toad." The votey (aftercomic) is a handwritten note in a box that reads: "Dear Evolution, Ew. Sincerely, God." The joke: the Surinam toad's brood-in-skin reproduction is so unsettling that God reacts with revulsion and decides to halt evolution entirely.
