Description
Here’s a detailed description and transcription of the comic:
Panel 1: A character with short brown hair appears to be praying with their hands clasped together.
- Text: "DEAR GOD, WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE YOU?"
Panel 2: A deity figure with a long beard and flowing robes responds. The background has a cosmic design.
- Text: "THAT'S A NONSENSICAL QUESTION. 'BEFORE' IMPLIES TIME. BUT I EXIST BEYOND TIME. THERE WAS NOTHING BEFORE ME. I CREATED MYSELF FROM NOTHING."
Panel 3: The praying character looks surprised and contemplative.
- Text: "WOWWW…"
Panel 4 (meanwhile, in heaven): Two characters are depicted as cosmic figures, one resembling a sun and the other having a round shape with hair.
- First character: "WHATCHA DOIN' SON?"
- Second character responds with a frustrated expression: "QUIET! I'M TALKING TO THE HUMANS AND OH MY GOD ARE YOU WEARING WHITE SOCKS AND BLACK SHOES AGAIN?!"
