Panel 1 (God speaking from the sun, down into the ocean toward dolphins):
God: Dolphins! It's me, God! I just want to say you've been doing great down there. Can I get you anything?
Panel 2 (two dolphins surface and respond joyfully):
Dolphin: More places to play!
Dolphin: Hooray!
Panel 3 (narration over a desert scene; a bearded man in robes walks while God speaks from the sun):
Narration: And so it came to pass that...
God: Noah! Build an ark! Because of sin or something.
Votey:
God (speech bubble pointing down to a small round Earth-like globe with arrows pointing outward all around it): Take, let's say, two of each kind. Should be fine.

A four-part SMBC comic. Panel 1: God, depicted as a glowing sun in the sky, calls down into the ocean to some dolphins: "Dolphins! It's me, God! I just want to say you've been doing great down there. Can I get you anything?" Panel 2: Two cheerful cartoon dolphins surface and reply, "More places to play!" and "Hooray!" Panel 3: A narration box reads "And so it came to pass that..." as a bearded man in robes (Noah) walks across a desert. God, again the sun in the sky, commands: "Noah! Build an ark! Because of sin or something." The joke: the great flood that drowns humanity is actually God granting the dolphins their wish for more places to play, with the sin pretext just a cover story. Votey (a small extra panel): God says "Take, let's say, two of each kind. Should be fine," above a small round globe with arrows pointing outward in every direction, suggesting the whole planet is being flooded to expand the dolphins' play area.
