Main comic: A single panel shot from a low angle showing a crowd of ordinary people standing and listening. A large speech bubble from an off-panel speaker above them delivers a rambling, pseudo-profound monologue: "The longest lived creatures on Earth are the least likely to be aware of their own mortality. Most causes affecting the life of an individual occurred before the individual was born, because emotional states are produced by relative experience, not objective assessment. Happiness is the ultimate source of all sadness." A caption beneath the panel reads: "God's standup routine was unpopular, but it sure made Him laugh." The joke: God does dry, abstract metaphysical 'comedy' that only He finds funny. Votey (aftercomic): A black-and-white panel shows a small round figure sitting in a spotlight as an audience before a stage, while an off-panel comedian-God delivers a flat, faux-edgy crowd-work line: "The ladies know what I'm talkin' about, in that they are a subset of the damned race called Human." It parodies a standup comic's audience banter rendered absurdly literal and joyless.
