Description

Here’s the accurate transcription of the comic text:

Panel 1:
"Give all that you have to the poor!"

Panel 2:
"5 years later…"
"So how'd it go?"

Panel 3:
"Well, we did as you said and gave our food to the poor for free. That caused the poor's domestic agriculture industry to collapse."

Panel 4:
"Huh."

Panel 5:
"We ran out of food, so we gave them our clothes so they wouldn't freeze in winter."
"Okay."

Panel 6:
"That collapsed the poor's clothing industry."

Panel 7:
"So now everyone's starving and naked, and actually… probably eating each other to live."

Panel 8:
"So…"
"We were hoping you had some miraculous way to transmute good intentions into good results."

Panel 9:
"I could make some free fish or bread or…"

Panel 10:
"Nope. Tried that. Didn't work. We need something more sustainable."

Panel 11:
"And lo, the Lord spake, saying, 'Behold, these flesh shall be sold at appropriate market value.'"
