Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Title: Heaven? Me? But How?

1. Panel 1: A woman with dark hair and a worried expression asks, “Heaven? Me? But how?” An older man with a beard, presumably God, responds, “God is a Freudian. Almost everyone qualifies for heaven.”

2. Panel 2: The woman looks confused and says, “All the sinful stuff you did? The lying, cheating, stealing, and so on? It was the result of neuroses brought on by repression of your enormous foot fetish.” The woman replies, “I don’t have a foot fetish.” God continues, “Right. Because it was repressed.”

3. Panel 3: The woman insists, “It was NOT! It doesn’t EXIST!” God comments sarcastically, “Okay then. I guess the omniscient deity who exists outside of time and space got confused about you in particular.”

4. Panel 4: The woman declares, “Stop! I was a hedonist! I did all that bad stuff for philosophical reasons! Not psychological stuff!”

5. Panel 5: She continues, “I am the captain of my soul! I did all that sinning because I wanted to! I made my destiny and I will dwell in the consequences and I don’t even like feet!”

6. Panel 6: God responds, “That’s fine, ma’am. Here’s your halo, tiny wings, and harp. Please enjoy the afterlife.”

7. Panel 7: The woman, now an angel with a halo and wings, looks frustrated as she says, “This sucks.”

8. Final Panel: A view of her floating in the clouds with her head in her hands, conveying her disappointment in her afterlife experience.

The comic pokes fun at the concept of sin, personal responsibility, and the nature of heaven.
