Original: sim-2 on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Transcript
Panel 1: A woman with red hair, eyes closed, speaks upward.
Woman (Jane): God, are we all just living in a simulation?
Panel 2: A reply comes from above (an unseen voice).
Voice (God): I think so, yeah.
Panel 3: Jane stands in a large dark space, looking up and gesturing.
Jane: I mean look around! You got a limit on speed of communication. You got particles behaving weird ONLY when observed. The whole thing runs on math! And it seems like it's discrete math?
Panel 4: The voice responds.
Voice (God): Sorry, I mean WE like WE humans, like, YOU made this reality.
Voice (God): I'm a god, not a monster, Jane.
Votey:
A close-up of a tired, drooping human face (eyes half-closed, looking miserable). A speech bubble from the unseen God-voice points down at it.
Voice (God): You think it's so great to have to watch you guys all day? This is my personal hell!

A four-panel SMBC comic set against a dark background. Panel 1: A red-haired woman named Jane stands with her eyes closed and asks upward, 'God, are we all just living in a simulation?' Panel 2: A disembodied voice (God) replies from above, 'I think so, yeah.' Panel 3: Jane gestures up in the vast dark space, arguing the evidence: 'I mean look around! You got a limit on speed of communication. You got particles behaving weird ONLY when observed. The whole thing runs on math! And it seems like it's discrete math?' Panel 4: God clarifies the twist: 'Sorry, I mean WE, like WE humans, like, YOU made this reality. I'm a god, not a monster, Jane.' The joke: God is implying that humans built the simulation, and a real god would never inflict such a glitchy reality on anyone. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of a weary, sagging human face. God's voice complains down at it, 'You think it's so great to have to watch you guys all day? This is my personal hell!'
