author's comments:
This comic is based on the idea of a fine-tuned universe. The notion of a fine-tuned
universe, in turn, is based on the idea that the universe is the way it is because of the
precise values of certain fundamental constants and that even slight variations of any of
these constants would result in a universe that is radically different. To be specific, it is
implied that any such universe would most likely not be conducive to the existence of
matter or elements as we know them and hence to the existence of life as we know it.
Many people (so I hear) consider this remarkable “fine-tuning” of the universe to be
evidence that suggests the existence of a divine being of some sort managing a cosmic
fine-tuning machine. I leave you, the reader, to draw your own conclusions, but whatever
your opinion may be, I hope that you will learn two very important lessons from this comic:
1.) Always obey the Lord, and 2.) beware of angry monkeys.
