A ten-panel black-and-white SMBC comic. A man asks an offscreen God, 'Dear God, is this the best of all possible worlds?' God enthusiastically answers, 'Definitely. It's great. Everyone gets a soul, gets to live forever, gets to watch THE EARTH SHOW!' The man recoils: 'Wait, Earth? Hell no, Earth is shit. I mean the universe.' God replies, 'The what?' The man backpedals: 'NOTHING.' He then asks, 'So do I or don't I have a soul?' as bursts of canned sitcom laughter (HA HA HA HAHAHA) flood the panels. Distressed, he echoes 'The what?!' God apologizes: 'Agh! Sorry, I didn't mean for the canned laughter to get through.' The man stares blankly and says, 'This is hell,' while the laugh track erupts again and God meekly says 'Sorry!' Votey: under a big caption 'HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!', a single cookie sinks below a waterline into liquid, like a cookie being dunked and drowning.
