One of our esteemed candidates for the Presidency made the news recently for a comment which seemed to elicit quite a few giggles from all but the most ardent of supporters. I giggled too.

Until, of course, something goes terribly wrong.

So here it is. A book-related comic strip. If this doesn’t make you believe in the power of reading, I don’t know what will.
