A black and white handdrawn comic. The artist is listed as Shami Stowall @GameOverStation. The comic shows a writer typing at a computer. The writer is considering adding the sentence: "He sat at his deck" to their story. Then the writer mumbles to themselves, "What kind of wood did they use to make furniture in 1200 Japan?" 6 Hours of Research Later. The writer updates the sentence to say "He sat at his CYPRESS desk" and then moves on to the next sentence.
