A color SMBC comic. A yellow top banner reads: "BEST USE OF A TIME MACHINE: INTRODUCING PRODUCT PLACEMENT INTO MAJOR MOMENTS IN HISTORY." A smiling, long-haired, bearded man in a white robe with a purple sash leans out of an opening in a large gray rock, resembling Jesus emerging from the tomb on the third day. An off-panel voice tells him: "That's right! And you know what is so soft and pillowy and delicious that you'll THINK it's been rising for three days? Pizza Hut's stuffed crust pizza!" The joke turns the Resurrection into a soft-dough product placement. Votey (aftercomic, in black-and-white line art): the same bearded man smiles and declares, "Now to ascend to flavor Heaven!"
