Description

Sure! Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: "When a sperm and egg combine, heaven ensouls the zygote."

Panel 2: "We figured out a way to make zygotes split back into sperm and egg." Text from the character: "Look! They combine, they split, they combine, they split."

Panel 3: "This created an unexpected opportunity." Text from the character: "The soul is made of spiritual electricity, so if we make the soul come down, then go back up over and over really fast, we can generate more concentrated spiritual energy, also known as souls."

Panel 4: "A new form of engineering emerged." Text from the character: "We have a massive bank of zygote cyclers, and economies of scale let us offer affordable spare souls to everyone."

Panel 5: "A ready consumer market was found." Text from the character: "I can deliver 4 trillion units in exchange for perfection and immortality for all mankind." Character in the panel shows agreement.

Panel 6: "Of course, there were some negative externalities." Illustration shows a character with armies in flames and angels with swords.

Panel 7: "But, on balance, it was a win." Text from the character: "On earth as it was in heaven." Additional note: "Plus weed and boner pills."
