Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:

• A character with red hair and a red shirt is speaking to an unseen figure, likely God.
• The character says, "God, why do bad people prosper while the good suffer?"
• Above the character is a speech bubble containing the word "Convection."

Panel 2:

• The second character, also red-haired and dressed in a red shirt, replies.
• The speech bubble says, "Some people are really good in past lives, so they get rewarded in the next life with wealth and status."

Panel 3:

• The first character continues the conversation.
• The speech bubble reads, "Most people, given wealth and status, become absolute turbo-bastards, so when they die the soul drops back down."

Panel 4:

• The second character explains further.
• The speech bubble mentions, "It's cyclical, and I can use the movement to spin a wheel, generate power, and operate my toaster even in the great beyond."

Panel 5:

• The first character asks, "What's the ethical theory underpinning all this?"

Panel 6:

• The second character responds with a humorous twist.
• The speech bubble states, "If it goes fast enough, I can make cheese-toast."

The overall tone of the comic is humorous, intertwining themes of ethics, reincarnation, and absurdity.
