Transcript:
Dad: You're scowling.
Phoebe: I'm mad. Uncle Ezra wants to sell Bright Hooves, and Sarah can't seem to talk him out of it!
Dad: Sounds like a good read.
Phoebe: Good reads make you mad?
Dad: Sometimes.
Phoebe: Reading might be overrated.
@ Scyphi: Rita Skeeter was, like her namesake, at worst merely an irritant. I thought that the more dangerous character was Delores Umbridge because she was actively (if unintentionally*) aiding the forces of Evil.
*Or maybe not. I’ve always wondered if Umbridge might have been a Death-Eater mole, but SO deeply undercover that she was able to escape detection the way that Snape was able to.

No Phoebe, a “good read” draws you in & gets you involved in the characters life. That’s why sometimes it makes you mad.

Only a truly good author can evoke emotions with their words . . . or an artist with her images. ::smiles::

I know it’s not meant that way, but in panel #1 it looks like Phoebe is giving the finger.
