A five-panel comic. A red-haired man kneels in prayer. He says "Dear God, I..." God replies from an orange speech bubble: "Look, dude, I just set the universe in motion. I don't do major changes." The man asks who he should talk to, and God says "The only one who gets things done is Evolution." The man asks "So I should talk to her?" and God warns "Yeah... but she's... a little different." The man then prays "Dear Evolution, I..." and Evolution answers in a green speech bubble: "Can't talk. Busy slowly turning a cow into a fish." In the final panel the man looks unsettled as Evolution's voice repeats, echoing creepily: "That's it. Yeah. Slowwwwwly. Slowwwwwly." Votey: A close-up of the man's worried face with a green line scribbled over his head and the green words "NOW FAST!", as if Evolution is now speeding the process up unnervingly.
