huh

A four-panel SMBC comic. God is depicted as a tiny yellow potato-shaped being floating in a blue sky dotted with clouds, accompanied by winged angels. Panel 1: God exclaims, "JEEZ! What's with life? It just keeps evolving new forms that torture and kill each other non-stop all the time!" Panel 2: God says, "You know what? I'm gonna take an ape, and make a version of it that has the body of a baby and a giant brain capable of reflection!" Panel 3: God streaks away through the sky saying, "There. Now to wait a few hundred thousand years and..." Panel 4 (large): The view zooms to Earth seen from space, with multiple pink mushroom-cloud nuclear explosions blooming across the continents and oceans. God, now near the planet, simply says, "Huh." The joke: God's experiment in self-reflective intelligence ends with humanity nuking itself. Votey (aftercomic): God, now wearing a halo, gazes down and says, "They're destroying themselves to save the world. It's so beautiful...", reframing the nuclear annihilation as a serene, holy act; a dark almond-shaped form with little sparkles drifts below.
