A six-panel SMBC comic. A dark-haired woman asks an older woman if she believes in the afterlife; the older woman says "Of course" and lays out an argument: everything physical is ordered according to law and reason, which implies a creator of profound wisdom and perfect knowledge. The dark-haired woman replies that if such a perfect creator exists, it must follow that every last human should be sent to hell. The older woman, throwing up her hands in exasperation, says "You had me, then. You lost me." The dark-haired woman concludes: "Heaven is for kitties and whales only." In the votey, a close-up of a wild-eyed, intense face shouts emphatically: "KITTIES, NOT CATS!"
