Comic #4061: a-joke
Description
Here’s the transcribed text from the comic:
Panel 1:
- Person 1: "Why did the blob of conscious matter cross the road?"
- Person 2: "I dunno, why?"
Panel 2:
- Person 1: "See, that’s why I created the universe. To determine the punchline to that joke."
- Person 2: "So human existence is a punchline?"
Panel 3:
- Person 1: "Well, it was supposed to be. Turns out the joke isn’t very funny."
- Person 1 (continuing): "Why did the blob of conscious matter cross the road? For a variety of reasons."
- Person 2: "Yeah, it’s not great."
Panel 4:
- Person 1: "So, human beings are born, live, and die, and we make up reasons for our lives, but it’s all meaningless."
- Person 2: "Okay, fair enough. It’s a little funny."
