In a two panel comic with a pink background, Dickens is working at a computer. Their friend comes up to them and says "Do you know your child is evil?" Dickens feigns surprise. The friend goes on to explain that their child pretended not to know Dickens was gay — for laughs! Dickens agrees to talk to him, and the friend agrees. She thinks Dickens should talk to him and let him know how proud she is to be his "gay auntie-cousin-friend" and then walks away laughing. Dickens calls over the shoulder, grumbling about being interrupted at work. Their friend responds, "writing fan fiction is NOT work!"
