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.

Spent six hours of research trying to find out if there should be lead in the water pipes of my fictional city.

(Then decided I didn't want everyone to have lead poisoning, so I changed that detail anyway 🤣)
