book-2
Explanation
This comic satirizes a particular brand of literary pretentiousness -- the author who claims not to invent stories but merely to "discover" or "channel" them.
In the first panel, a writer declares: "I don't see myself as a writer. The stories are out there. I merely find them." This is a well-known artistic affectation, often expressed by authors and musicians who describe their creative process as mystical or passive -- as though the works exist independently in some Platonic realm and the artist is simply a conduit.
The interviewer's response -- "Womannnn" -- delivered with an impressed, drawn-out tone, suggests they are buying into this romantic self-mythology.
The punchline is in the bottom panel, which reveals the book this author has "found": "The Swordmasters of the Dragons of the Rings of Tolkiencopya." The title is an obvious pastiche of derivative fantasy tropes, cramming together references to swords, dragons, and rings (all Tolkien staples) with the place name "Tolkiencopya" -- literally naming the fictional world after the act of copying Tolkien.
The humor lies in the gap between the lofty artistic philosophy and the transparently unoriginal output. The writer claims to be passively discovering stories that exist in the universe, but what they have "discovered" is a shameless Tolkien knockoff. This deflates the mystical-artist pose by suggesting that what these writers are really "finding" is just the most obvious, already-existing fantasy cliches. It is a commentary on how pretentious self-descriptions of the creative process often mask deeply derivative work.
