Comic #4438: a-reason

Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:

A character, presumably talking to God, is expressing frustration. The character is middle-aged with dark hair and brown skin, wearing a red shirt.
God is represented as a figure in the sky, speaking directly to the character. Dialogue reads:
- Character: “God, does everything happen for a reason?”
- God: “Yes. A shitty, shitty reason.”

Panel 2:

The character continues speaking, looking contemplative. The dialogue reads:
- Character: “So… my divorce…”
- God: “Because you developed gray chin hairs, which reminded her of a hated uncle. All the fighting… the defensiveness… ultimately, the infidelity burst from that little spark, though neither of you could have realized it.”

Panel 3:

The character, appearing more distressed now, poses another question. Dialogue reads:
- Character: “And how my son hates me?”
- God: “A single point mutation in a single sperm's DNA caused by a stray ion emitted by some banana pudding you ate on the day he was conceived.”

Panel 4:

The character looks even more troubled, asking about a car wreck. Dialogue reads:
- Character: “And my parents’ car wreck…”
- God: “Faulty wiring because a factory worker got his hand stuck in a pickle jar at the worst possible moment.”

Panel 5:

The character is visibly upset and speaks again. Dialogue reads:
- Character: “So, the reason my parents are dead is that…”
- God: “You can’t get a pickle out of the jar while holding it.”

Panel 6:

The character seems to regain some composure, making a statement about the system. Dialogue reads:
- Character: “You know you could run this whole system a lot better?”
- God: “Whoa, hey! Who told you I was in charge?”
