    If you don’t think it’s funny that’s OK. I’m just gonna explain why I think it’s hilarious.

    See, the gag of “an omniscient god hanging out with you” could be done in a single panel. Maybe the second panel, slightly modified, maybe it shows the boy and the girl standing next to a broken vase or something. But this comic extends it another couple panels. You see the crying kid and the smug girl. You see the kid with a freakin dunce cap on and the two other kids (with the god) looking at him. You see that their life really is worse because of this. The smug expression and the dunce cap are secondary gags, the real joke is that the stirp’s saying: see? it really is bad. See this? See this?

    I think it’s pretty funny, but if you don’t agree that makes sense too.
