coddled

A four-panel comic about textbook titles. Panel 1: a book titled "Quantum Computing Made Easy" sits beside a red-haired man who frowns and says, "No, don't coddle me. Gimme the good stuff." Panel 2: the book's title morphs into "Quantum Computing Made Tedious & Difficult"; the man says, "Closer! More!" Panel 3: the title becomes "Quantum Computing Right Up Yer Fuckin' Ass" and the man beams, exclaiming, "YES! Oh yes!" Panel 4: he sits delightedly next to a shelf of matching books and says, "Hey, neat! There's a whole series!" The spines read "Quantum Computing Right Up Yer Fuckin' Ass," "Kidney Punch Yourself Some Linguistics, Dipshit," and "Mallet To Your Nuts Of Cultural Geography, 2nd Ed." The joke: he craves textbooks that promise to brutalize him with difficulty. Votey (aftercomic): handwritten text in a frame reading, "The smaller and grayer the math text, the more agony you can expect."
