This panel comes from page 31 in Chapter 14 of Not a Cat Lady.

Here’s a closer look at the hypothetical comic-book page of the Flower People story shown on page 7 of Not a Cat Lady, with the dialogue for each panel.
Panel 1
Azalea: I did SO see a gigantic moth!!
Panel 2

Lily: And I saw the MOSSMAN.
Panel 4
Azalea: It doesn’t exist!
Panel 5
Lily: Then neither do giant moths!
Panel 6
Azalea: You are so stubborn!
Lily: And you are so unfair!
