Explanation
This comic imagines a world where God has to support the Universe through advertising revenue, and therefore must meet certain "standards of decency." A nude woman complains, "I keep trying to show you my nipples, but there's always a lamp or a potted plant in the way!" A nude man responds, "I want you to see my dong, but I keep turning at an angle that hides it!"
The caption below reads: "Once God had to support The Universe via ad revenue, he had to meet certain standards for decency."
The joke is a meta-commentary on the visual trope in television and film where nudity is strategically hidden by conveniently placed objects -- lamps, plants, furniture -- or by characters who always seem to turn at just the right angle. The comic reimagines this as a literal feature of the universe's physics, imposed by God because he needs ad revenue (like a TV network) and therefore cannot show explicit content. The humor lies in treating a filmmaking convention as if it were a law of nature, and in the characters' frustrated awareness of these invisible censorship rules. It satirizes both broadcast decency standards and the absurdity of the "convenient object" trope.
