A man with curly dark hair, wearing a suit, sits looking at a computer monitor with a skeptical, slightly stunned expression. Speech bubbles surround him: an off-panel voice insists "IT'S REAL! FOR REAL!" and "IT'S YOUR MATH, MAN. CHECK IT." The man replies "WHAT? NO. THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE," then "IT'S... WHOA. WHOA. DUUUUUUUDE." A caption below reads: "God learns of the Elitzur-Vaidman bomb tester" (a real quantum-mechanics thought experiment that lets you detect a bomb without setting it off). The joke: even God is dumbfounded by quantum weirdness, reacting like an amazed stoner. Votey (aftercomic): a large empty speech bubble pointing back at the scene contains a single drawn-out exclamation, "BROOOOOO," continuing God's awestruck reaction.
