A four-panel comic. A red-haired, freckled man kneels in prayer with hands clasped. He prays: "Dear Lord, I've been reading the Westminster Shorter Catechism... It has all these questions, which I answer, but they're made by people. You don't say them, so I wanted to put it to you: what is the chief end of man?" A glowing light shines down and God's voice answers, "The READ one!" (a pun on "chief end" / "the read one"). In the final panel God bursts into booming laughter: "AHAHAHAHA!" Votey aftercomic: a speech bubble from above adds, "Seriously though, there's no point."
