Description

Sure! Here’s the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: Teacher: "YES, BOBBY?"

Panel 2: Bobby: "CAN WE START READING ANOTHER BOOK?" Teacher: "NO. THAT'S NOT HOW ENGLISH CLASS WORKS."

Panel 3: Teacher: "WHAT WE CAN DO IS PRETEND THE BOOK IS A TOWERING RIDDLE OF SYMBOLOGY DESIGNED TO OBFUSCATE A CENTRAL THEME SO SIMPLISTIC THAT IT CAN BE EXPRESSED IN A SINGLE PARAGRAPH DURING A ONE-HOUR MIDTERM."

Panel 4: Bobby: "GOTCHA. GOTCHA."

Panel 5: (LATER, IN COLLEGE…) Bobby: "MAN… I HATE NOVELS." Classmate: "WOW, YOU TOO?!"
