Description

Here's a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1: A person with a round face and short hair, wearing a red shirt and dark pants, stands excitedly amidst a snowy landscape, arms raised. They exclaim, "I did it! I was good enough to get into heaven!" Above them, a speech bubble in purple says, "No you weren't."

Panel 2: The background continues to depict snow, and a large yellow coin-like object is positioned to the right. The text reads: “'Good' is a horrifying standard for an afterlife in a chaotic universe. Free will doesn’t exist. Meanwhile, actions that seem good can create evil and vice versa.”

Panel 3: The same large yellow coin is shown with a smaller coin, emphasizing the idea. The text continues: “Over time, just about any action will vacillate between creating net good and net bad, never converging on earth. There is no good! Just a drunk walk through ethics-space!”

Panel 4: The first character is now a small figure, looking up. The text above reads: “So… what happens to souls when the body dies?”

Panel 5: The character responds with a wide-eyed expression, saying, “You listen to me rant about consequentialism, then poof!” A large yellow coin appears in the air, symbolizing the whimsical nature of the response.

The comic has a humorous take on deep philosophical questions and illustrates themes of morality and the afterlife using light-hearted dialogue and imagery.
