Description

Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: Character 1: "God, when I die does my self disappear?" Character 2: "Of course not!"

Panel 2: Character 2: "That's like saying the idea of a chair goes away just because you sat on one and it broke." Character 2: "‘Dave’ is just a specific set of relationships between fields embedded in spacetime. As a notion, it existed prior to reality itself and will remain eternal, the same as the idea of circles or the quantity 2."

Panel 3: Character 1: "So ‘I’ will persist, but in a way that is utterly unsatisfactory to the actual living me consigned to a ball of meat that suffers?"

Panel 4: Character 2: "You want lightning up your ass, Dave? You’re asking for ass-lightning."
