Red and Rover by Brian Basset for September 16, 2016

Where are the Cliff’s Notes when you need them?

Do they still make “Classic Comics”? Best way to do book reports for us poor readers.<><me

Poor readers don’t read enough to become good readers.

Gee Red, I’m not sure your report will measure up…

i bet you are gonna get an incomplete..

I’m such a desperate reader that I’ll read product boxes if nothing else is at hand. Cereal, allergy medicine, anything. There’s now a joke between my husband and myself that started when we were riding down the highway one day. He asked me a question about something odd, and I just so happened to have read a billboard on the subject a few minutes past. When I answered him, to his surprise, he asked me how I knew. I said, “I read billboards.” It’s now my stock answer for all the arcane, little-useful stuff that populates my brain. He’s zinged me with it in return a few times.

An insect in “Pogo” styled himself as a book critic, criticizing only the materials (as for eating). He didn’t even bother to read the title.

I read quite a few textbooks along with other materials during high school and college…

Well, it IS original, Red! Your parents may not agree when your teacher calls them in for a conference, though! :-)
