A four-panel comic strip titled "AFTER DEBUGGING FOR 10 HOURS..." shows two cartoon dinosaurs (developers) in office attire. The first dinosaur, frustrated, yells, "HEY! THE BUG IS NOT IN MY CODE. IT'S IN YOUR API!" The second dinosaur calmly replies, "IT'S NOT A BUG! WE CHANGED THE API BUT DIDN'T UPDATE THE ONLINE DOCS..." The final panel shows both dinosaurs looking angry and about to start the fight. The comic is signed "@GARABATOKID https://www.instagram.com/garabatokid/ ".
