A single-panel comic. A red-haired man with his hands pressed together in prayer asks, "Lord, why do bad things happen to good people?" A speech bubble from above (God) answers, "Come on, man. I do like three killer tsunamis per year at most, and then otherwise things are basically solid." A caption beneath reads: “I am allllllll powerful, allllll knowing, and allllllllmost good.” The joke: God defends himself as nearly-good. The votey (after-comic) is a hand-drawn sign reading "Bend over it's time for me lightning."
