this is a comic about submission fees

A four panel comic titled, “Submissions.” A small red robot sits at a laptop in all four panels. In the first panel, he says, “formatted correctly… check! Name removed… check!” In the second panel, he says, “submitted during a one hour period in the middle of the night… check!” In the third panel, he says, “hmm… proof of belonging to a dark literary cult. Where did I put that?” In the fourth panel, he says, “wait… submission fee!? $#@! Never mind!”
