Fruit of Knowledge

I had the idea for this awhile ago, and the recent nuclear disaster in Japan finally gave me a reason to use it.

Readers have apparently been more confused by it than expected. My intent was to comment on nuclear technology being sort of a double-edged sword; something with great potential for both good and evil. So, the fruit of "The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" seemed an appropriate metaphor.

It seems my interpretation of the original story is not common, so people read the cartoon as entirely negative, rather than commenting on both the negative and positive aspects of nuclear technology (and technology in general, really).

Artwise, I'd say this turned out pretty well, considering I didn't have any models for it.
