Transcript
Panel 1:
A woman with wavy dark hair kneels in prayer, hands pressed together, eyes closed.
Woman (praying): DEAR LORD, WHY IS THE COSMOS SLOWLY GROWING MORE ENTROPIC?
A reply comes from above in a glowing speech bubble (God's voice):
God: I'M TRYING TO MAXIMIZE CHAOS SO I CAN SEND A SECRET CODE! COOL, RIGHT?!
Caption below the panel:
What if the universe is a one-time pad?
Votey:
A rough hand-drawn doodle: a large oval/blob shape (suggesting a speech or thought bubble) containing the text "I'M A SUPER SPY!" A small scribbled figure is sketched in the lower-left corner.

A one-panel SMBC comic. A woman with wavy dark hair kneels with her hands pressed together in prayer, eyes closed. Her prayer reads: "Dear Lord, why is the cosmos slowly growing more entropic?" A glowing speech bubble from above (God) replies: "I'm trying to maximize chaos so I can send a secret code! Cool, right?!" A caption below reads: "What if the universe is a one-time pad?" The joke: God is treating the universe's increasing entropy as the random key of a cryptographic one-time pad, like a giddy spy. The votey is a crude hand-drawn doodle of a blobby speech bubble containing the words "I'm a super spy!" with a tiny scribbled figure in the corner.
