Panel 1:
A glowing yellow sphere (a stylized sun/orb representing God) floats in the sky above a green hillside landscape. Two small human figures peek out from behind the bushes below.
God (speech bubble): "THERE! I'VE CREATED HUMANS. BRAND NEW ONES WITH NO IDEAS OR OPINIONS OR ANYTHING. NOW TO LEAVE THEM IN THE COMPANY OF THAT EVIL TALKING SNAKE."
Caption (below panel): "If God worked at a pet store, He'd be fired."
Votey:

The same glowing orb, now drawn in plain black-and-white outline, floats beside a speech bubble.

A radiant yellow orb representing God hovers in the sky over a green hillside where two tiny human figures peek out from the bushes. God declares in a speech bubble: "There! I've created humans. Brand new ones with no ideas or opinions or anything. Now to leave them in the company of that evil talking snake." A caption beneath reads: "If God worked at a pet store, He'd be fired" -- comparing God's hands-off, irresponsible setup to a careless pet-shop clerk leaving a new pet with a predator. In the votey aftercomic, labeled "LATER...", the same orb (now plain outline) says "Better flush it and start over," the casual disposal-and-restart line a frustrated pet-store worker might use, applied to humanity.
