- Panel one - Title: The optimistic novelist Image: a writer at a desk saying “Hooray! I've written half of my novel!!” Panel two - Title: The pessimistic novelist Image: a writer at a desk saying “Damn! I've still got to write half of my novel!” Panel three - Title: The pessimistic novelist, continued Image: The writer from the previous panel continues, more sadly: “And what I have written is terrible!” Then, somewhat desperately: “And I've told my editor that I'll have a finished draft by the end of the week! And what's the point of writing anything anyway when it will only get lost in a vast ocean of artificially generated content spewed out by the same corporations that are ruining our planet!” Final panel - title: The pessimistic novelist, the next day Image: the writer looks over their work and says “Hmm. Perhaps it's not quite that bad.” (remote)
