A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A smiling nun in a black-and-white habit gestures toward a small group of children and says, "Remember kids, every day is a gift from God!" Panel 2: Against a blue cloudy sky sits an opened gift box (light blue with a red ribbon) whose golden lid floats above it. A voice continues, "Ha! It looks nice, but when you open the top, it's a worldwide pandemic." The joke recasts the cheerful nun's platitude as ominous: the 'gift' opens like Pandora's box releasing a pandemic. Votey: The golden lid is shown on its own while a speech bubble says, "Man, I'm funny."
