Something smells good. Ooh! Francis! Are those your mom's lemon squares? Yup! I'm in charge of snacks this week for my book club! Book club? So whoever's in the book club gets to eat lemon squares? Can we come? Um... Well, if you haven't read the book, you won't be able to contribute much to the discussion. Perfect! Ooh! Powdered sugar!

Personally, my favorite book as a kid was “Banner In The Sky,” by James Ramsey Ullman. I found a way to sneak it into the strip a couple of years ago.

Yes, I’ve seen “Third Man on the Mountain” several times, and it is indeed based on “Banner In The Sky” — although, typical for a Disney movie, they introduced a romantic partner for Rudi who wasn’t in the book.
I’d have to dig back through my archives to find the exact strip where Banner In The Sky is mentioned; it was a storyline in which Nate’s dad made him sign a contract to read a certain number of books over the summer.
Nobody calls me Mr. Peirce. Lincoln is fine.
