A four-part SMBC comic. Panel 1: A young man with orange hair speaks to a priest, saying "I guess I just feel simultaneously without meaning and pathetic." Panel 2: The priest, an older man in a clerical collar, replies, "Read what Jesus said. What he did. Read and be changed." Panel 3: The young man sits alone at a table reading a book, head propped on his hand, exclaiming, "By the age of 33, Christ had started a major religion and died for everyone's sins?! What am I doing with my life?!" The priest's advice has backfired into an existential crisis about underachievement. Votey: A close-up of the young man's face, looking resolute, as he declares, "I'm gonna invent a new vision of spirituality then cash in bigtime."
