A four-panel comic. A red-haired man stands looking dejected and asks an off-panel voice from above (drawn as a speech bubble coming from the sky), "God is life pointless?" The voice replies, "Of course not." In the next panel the voice adds, "I mean yours is." The voice continues that there are a small number of important people who shape history or make everlasting contributions to science and literature. The man, now looking relieved and happy, says, "Wait so I can do nothing with my life and it's fine?" The voice answers cheerfully, "You're off the hook, baby! You're one of the chosen many!"

Votey (aftercomic): The same small man stands at the bottom of a mostly empty panel and says, "Wait, I just had an idea for the most beautiful poem in history." The voice from above, in a speech bubble, immediately replies, "Sorry!" — shutting down his moment of inspiration to keep him among the unremarkable.
