In a 9-panel comic from the Socialist Grocery series by Oli Knowles, Maggie, Sebastian's partner exasperates, "Wow. What a week. We Couldn't drink the water, then we could drink the water, then we weren't sure. I'm still not sure. No fucking clue what's going on. Let's watch a horror movie." While sitting on a couch next to a gaming Sebastian. The middle left panel focuses on Maggie's face, calmly they ask, "So, I've never asked. What's your criteria for horror?" Sebastian in the center middle panel responds with hand gestures and says, "Well, it has to be made between 20 1980 and 2015." On the center-middle right panel Sebastian points one index finger to another saying, "It can't be "made to look" like a 70's classic but it's actually relatively new. Confusing." The far middle right panel shows a close up of Sebastian as they say, "The movie description can't mention 'ancient curse' or be about teens in the woods." The bottom left most panel shows Maggie's Netflix home page with Sebastian's finger pointing and them saying, "It cannot have the "Netflix Original" N." The bottom center left panel has Sebastian sitting on the couch continuing their list, "No fantasy-horror, no slashers, no trees on the movie cover." In the bottom center right panel Sebastian continues on pictured in a profile view alongside Maggie, impassioned they say, "And absolutely no movie with two A-list actors in it at the same time." In the bottom right most panel a view from behind the couch shows Maggie desperately saying, "That leaves us with literally one movie." Sebastian excitingly says, "Great! Glad we narrowed it down."

Socialist Grocery
In a 6-panel comic from the Socialist Grocery series by Oli Knowles, Sebastian explains that they like to show their partner, Maggie the daily posts from a Philly vegan donut shop, Dotties. In the top left panel Sebastian is shown holding the phone to Maggie's sight saying, "Look, here's the 'Dottie's' Donuts chef special today. So cute." In the top right panel, Maggie is shown looking at Sebastian's phone bearing an image of a donut with a lemon square on it. Maggie in response to it's cuteness relates, "No it's not. Not cute- sorry. Its silly." The half panel below the top right shows Sebastian on the left questioning, "Why?" and Maggie on the right explaining, "It's an entire lemon square ontop of a donut!" The middle left panel shows Sebastian and Maggie sitting on a bed near a window, Maggie's are is extended out. Maggie says, "You cannot possibly eat that. You can't fit that in you're mouth. It'll get everywhere. You can't bite it. It's always something like that." The half panel on the top middle section shows a perplexed Maggie continuing, "Like a whole whoopie pie on a donut, or a whole cupcake." The next speech bubble says. "What's next? A whole rotisserie chicken? A dixie cup with coffee in it?" The half panel on the lower middle section displays Maggie's hands gesturing palms toward one another. Maggie continues, "A bag of fruit gushers? A pool of fettuccine alfredo?? What?!" The bottom panel has Sebastian and Maggie on a bed with a cat in the foreground. Sebastian on the left says, "You know those are just specialty donuts. Right? They make regular donuts, too." Maggie admits, "Oh, well... Then I guess Dottie's is fine."
