A single-panel comic. A bald, praying figure in a yellow robe looks upward and asks God, "Hey God, would infinite monkeys at infinite typewriters eventually create the works of Shakespeare?" God's disembodied voice replies from a yellow speech bubble, "Good question, let me check." The caption beneath the panel reads: "It later turned out that infinite mass collapses the universe." The joke: God literally tries the experiment, and the infinite monkeys and typewriters add up to infinite mass, gravitationally collapsing the universe. No votey image is available for this comic.
