Panel 1
(A woman with dark hair sniffs the air.)
Sound effect: *sniff sniff*
Panel 2
Woman: It's old book smell. The mellow odor of beautiful old pages, hoarding up their secrets, hushed away in library cellars.
Panel 3
(Another person, off-panel speaker:) What's that?
Panel 4
Woman: Look there! A little reading room, with a row of unoccupied carrel desks!
Panel 5
Woman: That's funny, these look like books but they're squishy and moist.
Final panel
(No dialogue. The scene pulls back to reveal that what looked like a library is actually a giant creature — a huge dog-like beast lying on the ground, with a tiny red doghouse-shaped structure perched on its head and a single enormous eye visible at the bottom. The "books" and "reading room" were part of the monster.)
Votey:

A six-panel comic. A dark-haired woman sniffs the air ("sniff sniff") and rhapsodizes about "old book smell" — "the mellow odor of beautiful old pages, hoarding up their secrets, hushed away in library cellars." A companion asks "What's that?" She points out a "little reading room with a row of unoccupied carrel desks," then notes, "That's funny, these look like books but they're squishy and moist." The final wide panel zooms out to reveal the whole "library" was actually a colossal dog-like monster lying across the landscape: a tiny red doghouse-like structure sits on its head and one giant eye stares out at the bottom — the books she was admiring were parts of the living beast. Votey (aftercomic): the words "First Edition" crudely carved into a rough stone slab, like an epitaph on a gravestone.
