Comic #6060: free-will-4
Description
Here’s a detailed description of the comic with the transcribed text:
Panel 1:
- A woman with brown hair and a light blue top is speaking. She has an expression of surprise.
- Dialogue: “Dear God, do we have free will?”
- Another character, who is off-panel, replies, “Yeah, buttloads of it.”
Panel 2:
- The woman appears more interested.
- Off-panel voice: “You’re actually the only creatures in the universe with free will.”
- Woman: “Really?”
Panel 3:
- The woman looks concerned as she listens.
- Off-panel voice: “The whole rest of the universe is moving away from you so fast that you’ll never reach another star. You also don’t have access to the substance that allows you to communicate with all the other civilizations.”
Panel 4:
- The woman looks thoughtful and a little sad.
- Off-panel voice: “The funny thing is you’ve got free will, but it’s in a tiny bubble of the universe that’ll never affect anything else! You can decide what kind of sandwich to eat, but not how the other 99.999999999% of the universe evolves.”
Panel 5:
- The woman looks contemplative.
- She states, “So humans have free will, but humanity doesn’t matter.”
Panel 6:
- A silhouette appears, representing the off-panel voice.
- Off-panel voice: “Oh, that’s good. That’s going in the next Bible.”
The comic explores themes of free will, existentialism, and the relative insignificance of humanity in the vast universe.
