time-4

A four-panel comic. In panel one, a woman with curly hair asks, "God, why is there time?" In panels two and three she explains: "Try watching a movie when there's no time. Everything happens all at once. There's no dramatic tension," and "We tried a no-time universe, but it made things weird. The sex scenes were right on top of the visits to a dying grandma, and the emotional breakup, and the fights with zombies or whatever." In the final panel, shown as a black silhouette of a head against white, the other speaker asks, "Wait, time exists to make movies better?" and the reply is, "Also comic books." Votey (aftercomic): a hand-lettered panel reads, "Why do people go to an all-powerful God to ask immortal life tips?" with a smaller inset bubble answering, "I have wondered that myself!"
