Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic, along with the transcribed text:

Panel 1:

• A character with glasses and a frown is holding a book and talking.
• The character is saying: "YOU'VE HAD THIS BOOK FOR TEN YEARS AND YOU HAVEN'T READ IT."

Panel 2:

• A second character, with a reddish beard and a surprised expression, responds while holding up the book.
• The text reads: "ALL THE INFORMATION IS OUT OF DATE. THERE ARE TWO NEW EDITIONS."

Panel 3:

• The first character adds: "THERE'S A HALF INCH OF DUST ON IT."

Panel 4:

• The second character looks annoyed, raising an eyebrow.
• Then the first character has a neutral expression while saying: "DON'T SAY IT—"

Panel 5:

• The second character, now agitated, replies: "YOU KNOW THE NAZIS GOT RID OF BOOKS TOO."
• The first character's face shows frustration.

Panel 6:

• The first character, with a wide-eyed expression, responds: "GOD-DAMMIT."

This comic humorously illustrates a conversation about reading habits contrasted with historical references.
