Panel 1:
God (off-panel, upper left): God: Why did you make quantum mechanics so weird?
Panel 2:
A figure (presumably an angel or Jesus's associate) laughing: HAHAHA! Sorry, hold on a sec, I gotta tell this to Jesus!
Panel 3:
The figure recounting the explanation: HEY! There's a three-pound blob of fat that can think, yet it's premised atop the body of a hairless ape communicating with the creation of the universe by wobbling its neck and it thinks particles are weird!
Panel 4 (multiple figures laughing):
Figure: AAAAHA HAHAHA!
Figure: HA HA HA!
Figure: HHOHO HAHAHA!
Figure: BAHA HA HA!
Figure: AHEE HEE HEE!
Panel 5:
God: I can wait all night if I have to.
Laughing figure: And it thinks time is real! AHAHA HA!
Figure: HAHA HA HA!
Votey:
Inside a large speech/thought bubble: Let's lightning his ass.
(A small figure with crossed eyes and a sly grin sits in the lower-left corner.)

A black-and-white SMBC comic. Panel 1: God (off-panel) asks, "Why did you make quantum mechanics so weird?" Panel 2: A laughing figure replies, "HAHAHA! Sorry, hold on a sec, I gotta tell this to Jesus!" Panel 3: The figure recounts it as a joke: "Hey! There's a three-pound blob of fat that can think, yet it's premised atop the body of a hairless ape communicating with the creation of the universe by wobbling its neck and it thinks particles are weird!" Panel 4: A crowd of figures bursts into laughter ("AAAAHA HAHAHA!", "HA HA HA!", "BAHA HA HA!", "AHEE HEE HEE!"). Panel 5: God says flatly, "I can wait all night if I have to," while a figure keeps cackling, "And it thinks time is real! AHAHA HA!" The joke: humanity earnestly questioning physics is hilarious to divine beings who find human assumptions absurd. Votey: A large bubble contains the words "Let's lightning his ass," with a small cross-eyed, mischievously grinning figure tucked in the lower-left corner, implying the laughing beings plan to zap God in retaliation.
