You guys ever read the one where the same thing happens to God-God-Man? You’ll never guess how he gets out of it.

And you religious nuts remember this strip is about God-Man, not GOD … which, of course, is short for GOD Over Djinn. And, that’s just short for (GOD Over Djinn) Over Djinn. Which obviously expands to ((GOD Over Djinn) Over Djinn) Over Djinn. And so on all the way up.
Paradoxer says: “Check out ‘Gödel, Escher, Bach’, pp. 110-115, kids!”

Of course God-Man can produce a stone he can’t lift. He wears it as a pinkie ring.

Actually, I’ve never noticed that God cares all that much about crime…or about disease, or murders, or children dying horribly, or rape and genocide. What DOES God actually care about, I wonder?

God-God-Man looks to be a Jack Kirby pastiche. Very appropriate, given that he’s a New God!
