A Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic depicting the Garden of Eden. Across three panels, the off-panel voice of God speaks to Adam and Eve, two naked figures standing among trees. God says he has finished a tree, warns them not to touch its delicate fruit, and then pronounces that they shall have to labor for their food and will die, adding that he can't even explain why because "math is basically impossible in this universe." The joke reframes the biblical curse as a consequence of broken mathematics. Votey aftercomic: a close-up of a round fruit dotted with small holes beside a speech bubble where God adds the final curse: "You shall forever struggle with logarithms!"
