When God closes a door, he opens a window

You realize that’s a smaller opening, right?

You used to be able to walk out the front door

And now you have to climb out some slightly ajar window somewhere

Possibly falling like 5 stories to your death, that is not an upgrade

I love bees. Most kinds rarely sting you if ever. Most wasp types are chill to. It's mostly the Vespa and Vespula genus that has the assholes in it. If the torso gets wide immediately right after the slender waist, that's how you know you most likely got an asshole on your hands.

My sister's old cat could not control himself not to smack and hold wasps in his mouth. He got stung every freakin' time. Never learned. The wasps only ever stung any of us once, when someone opened the door and a wasp flew in their mouth.

BEES

I was going to say "at least it's not wasps", but then, the wasps would survive and be able to sting over and over, and the bees would each likely die horribly after their first attempt. If I'm going to die by being stung by a swarm of something, maybe I wouldn't want the deaths of hundreds of bees on my conscience.

On the other hand, the secret panel would likely involve something less nice if it had been wasps.

What's that? A swarm of bees entered the room through a window opened by god? A large influx of bees ought to put a stop to that!

Skyline969@piefed.ca · 3 pts · 27d (1 reply)

Augh! This situation has been made worse by the addition of yet more bees!

Zorque@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 27d

Perhaps I can solve this... with more bees!

At least it is not yellow jackets.

Blessed are the bees who make this honey I'm injecting into my eye. It's blue, but I think that's because we l9ve right next to an M&M factory.

This is funny, but I really wish more comic artists would ask themselves if they need the last panel. It's so often superfluous.

samus12345@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 27d

It's funnier if God acknowledges it, I think.

Have you ever read a religious book? God ALWAYS gets the last word.

That casually smug expression is so good here, though
