Comic Text Description:

Panel 1: A woman with glasses and curly hair is reading from a book. She has a serious expression. A child with brown hair is listening intently.

Text: "And the ugly duckling turned out to be a beautiful swan. Of course, this was temporary, and the inexorable passage of time absconded with her beauty and her friends, leaving her alone in a bell jar, slowly turning carbonic with her cynicism, and septic with her failed dreams."

Panel 2: Text below the first panel: "Nobody liked Sylvia Plath's book of fables."
