A three-panel comic. Panel 1, captioned "If you don't believe in evolution," shows a young man with light brown hair waving his hand dismissively and saying "Not enough proof!" Panel 2, captioned "But you do believe in Noah's Ark," shows the same man smiling and gesturing toward a wall painting of Noah's Ark floating on water, saying "Self-evident!" Panel 3, captioned "Then your vision of Noah should change every time a new disease strain is discovered," shows Noah as a wild-haired, heavily bearded old man looking exasperated and exclaiming "There's a hepatitis E?! Come on!" The joke: if Noah literally had to shelter every species, including pathogens, on the ark, then each newly discovered disease means more for him to have wrangled. Votey: an extreme close-up of Noah's strained bearded face groaning "What the hell is a prion?!" (prions being misfolded proteins that aren't even living organisms).
