Mutant Pizza

PANEL ONE
Dog kneels under the tree in anguish.
DOG: God is dead!

PANEL TWO
Cat sits against the tree, looking at her phone.
CAT: RIP. Ooooh, is this an unsolved murder? I love a good ol’ fashioned who-done-it.

PANEL THREE
Close up of Cat.
CAT: So…who done it?

PANEL FOUR
Dog dramatically raises a mournful fist.
DOG: It was us! We killed the big man upstairs. And the murder weapon was…science!

PANEL FIVE
Cat lays against the tree. Dog peeks around it at Cat.
CAT: Oh, this is metaphorical. Now I’m entirely disinterested.
DOG: Every scientific discovery we make reveals truths about the universe, and shrinks the so-called power of God.

PANEL SIX
The Oak Tree looks at the birds in the sky.
CAT (OFF PANEL): That’s a nerdy blowhard way of saying you don’t believe in God.
DOG (OFF PANEL): What can I say, sometimes I’m overtaken with the urge to
pontificate dramatically!
DOG (CONT): Do you believe in God?

PANEL SEVEN
Cat raises a righteous paw. A blocky computer with t-rex style robot arms stands behind her.
CAT: I believe in the Great Computer. I am devout in my worship and pray to the Machine God everyday.

PANEL EIGHT
Dog has paws behind his back, naturally indignant.
DOG: I’ve never seen a single drop of evidence of your religion. I think you’re making it up.

PANEL NINE
Cat waves her paws in Dog’s general direction, as if casting a spell at him.
CAT (In Binary): Oh, Great Computer, I beseech you to strike this heathen down.

THE END.
