DO YOU THINK DRIVING WITH A DEAD GUY IN THE BACK SEAT QUALIFIES YOU TO USE THE CARPOOL LANE?
NO.
BUT THE SIGN SAYS "TWO OR MORE PERSONS."
YES, BUT I DON'T THINK A DEAD GUY COUNTS AS A PERSON...
OH, GOOD. SO IF A COP PULLED ME OVER AND ASKED WHY I HAD A DEAD GUY IN THE BACK SEAT, IT'S OKAY BECAUSE IT'S NOT A PERSON...
WELL, THIS HAS TAKEN A TURN...

Bobby Book HAD A Message for the MASSES.

Social Media is NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION.

WHY NOT, BOBBY BOOK?

Because there are no gatekeepers, so any Yahoo can write anything.

And books?

Books HAVE EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS AND PEOPLE WHOSE JOB IS TO ENSURE THEIR ACCURACY.

So books are perfect?

No. But they're better than social media.

But just as Bobby Book finished, another book appeared.

I am Biffy Book and I am self-published. So any Yahoo can publish me.

Depressed, Bobby Book set fire to himself.

OH, GOOD. WE SHOULD ALL JUST GIVE UP.

JUST NEVER READ BOOKS.

AST. I NEVER LANDED ON THE MOON.
I KNEW IT.

SIR, THERE'S A BIG, LONG HAIR IN MY SPAGHETTI.
YEAH. WE PUT IT THERE.
WHY?
WHADDYA MEAN, WHY? YOU ORDERED THE ANGEL HAIR PASTA.
MAYBE I MISUNDERSTOOD.
I CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN FOR THIS?!?!? INGROATE?
