A four-panel comic. A woman with glasses argues with a man who has red hair and a beard, both seated at a table. She scolds him: "You've had this book for ten years and you haven't read it!" He holds up the book and deflects: "All the information is out of date. There are two new editions." She presses: "There's a half-inch of dust on it." The two stare each other down in silence. Finally she warns, "Don't say it—" but he says it anyway: "You mean the haze got rid of books too." She erupts, "GOD—DAMN-IT," exasperated by his pun-like excuse. Votey: a loosely sketched scene of three seated people; the front figure, wearing glasses, points down toward a bin labeled "TRASH," while the two behind look concerned.
