Comic #2560: 2012-05-20

Description

Here’s a transcription of the text from the comic:

Panel 1: "God, why do bad things happen to good people? And why is there something and not nothing?"

Panel 2: "Actually, the second question kind of answers the first. We made the universe so it would evolve entities like us, but in greater number. We figured if we had enough thinkers, eventually someone would solve the 'why is there suffering' question and tell us the answer."

Panel 3: "So how's that coming?"

Panel 4: "Good? Bad?"

Panel 5: "Come on, man! It's hell up here!"
