A four-to-five panel SMBC comic set in the clouds of heaven. A bored winged, haloed figure floats among golden coin-shaped 'souls' and chats with God (a blonde figure). The angel says it's 'really boring up here' and suggests inviting 'more company, new fresh faces' for a 'big souls get-together.' God repeatedly objects: 'No, no.' 'Please don't.' 'Why?! Why?!' In the final panel the robed haloed figure descends toward Earth, where tiny stick people stand on a strip of land, announcing: 'And so, I'm flooding the world because you guys are doing butt stuff or whatever!' The joke reframes the biblical flood as an angel's excuse to liven up a dull afterlife. Votey: a single coin-shaped soul floats in frame while the off-panel angel declares, 'Only the super boring shall live!'
