The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I think the joke is that God is capable of creating something without fully understanding it. But the comic seems to indicate that God wasn't aware of his ability to do that, which I think is a bit odd. Even humans are aware that we can confuse ourselves by creating complex systems that not even we understand. I assume God would also be aware that he's smart enough to trick himself, but who knows?
But in what way is it supposed to be funny?
This just seems to comment on religion, but it doesn't do so in a way that makes any sense.
It seems to poke fun at god... But it does it with literally zero teeth.
There are much more valid paradoxes to point out in the imaginary idea of a god, an "omnipotent all-powerful force for good" cannot exist in a world where evil exists, or that force is either not good, not omnipotent, or not all-powerful.
Good question. I don't think it's actually funny so I don't have an answer for that. I agree with your take.
This answer was even more confusing.
It's just my personal speculation. What's your interpretation of the joke?
Einstein smart! God dumb!
I assumed it was mocking Einstein for overthinking since God looks sad at the end.
Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot that not even he could eat it?
Of course. Why do you ask?
