A four-panel comic. A woman stands looking upward, talking to God (an unseen offscreen voice). Panel 1: She asks, 'God, where is all the other life in the universe?' God replies, 'Oh, it's all over the place, I just don't let it interact with you.' Panel 2: She asks 'Why?' God hesitates: 'Well... I...' Panel 3: She presses, 'You know that John Irving quote, "Life is an X-rated soap opera"?' God stammers, 'I...' Panel 4: The woman, alarmed, exclaims, 'Oh my God are we your browsing history?!' God deflects: 'There is no history. This is incognito mode.' Votey: Inside a hand-drawn box, a frantic scribbled blob of a face sweats nervously while God admits, 'I opened these tabs about 13 billion years ago and they shall never close.'
