why do bad things happen to good people? Because Jar of bats.
Not sure if this is what they were going for, but there’s been some real thought put into how to protect future generations from problems we create that can last a long time, like nuclear waste:

Honestly, kind of surprised our governments haven’t come to the same conclusion of what to do with it: use it as a weapon against enemies.
I mean, they kind of do in a sense, the isotope of plutonium that a lot of nuclear weapons use is generated by nuclear reactors and must be extracted from used nuclear fuel in order to obtain it.
That’s pretty much the Christian myth isn’t it? Original sin and all that?
I think it’s a more direct reference to Pandora’s Box, but the last panel seems closer to the Christian myth.
Especially since “box” is a mistranslation that stuck. The original was a clay jar.
