An eight-panel SMBC comic riffing on the Resurrection becoming a runaway, repeating event. Panel 1: a silhouetted figure on a cross, captioned 'THREE DAYS LATER.' Panel 2: a crowd of robed onlookers, one shouting 'HE IS RISEN!' Panel 3, 'THREE MORE DAYS LATER,' someone says 'WOW! ANOTHER ONE!' Panel 4, 'THREE DAYS AFTER THAT,' three risen figures now stand with arms raised; a bystander says 'HE IS RISEN. THREE TIMES?' and another quips 'TRISEN!' Panel 5, 'SOON...', the hillside is packed with risen figures; observers note 'THE PACE IS INCREASING. EACH RISES A LITTLE FASTER THAN THE ONE BEFORE' and 'WE'LL BE INUNDATED.' Panel 6, 'ELSEWHERE...', an angel in the clouds panics 'OH CHRIST! I LEFT THE CAVE RUNNING! TURN IT OFF!' and is told 'YOU CAN'T. IT HAS TO COOL DOWN FOR A BIT,' as if the resurrection is a malfunctioning machine. Panel 7: figures holding clock-like dials debate 'HOW MUCH JESUS ARE WE TALKING?' / 'OH BOY' / 'LET'S SEE' / 'SIT TIGHT. I HAVE AN IDEA.' Panel 8, 'AND SO...', the solution: 'BUILD AN ARK!'—because the world is being flooded with Jesuses. The votey is a handwritten grammar note in a box: 'Singular: Jesus / Plural: Jesupodes.'
