[dc]N[/dc]othing beats a room full of books. AKA a “Library” or “Reading Room” or “Book Hole.” I’m a heavy user of my local library, and I love the place. I can even get comics, and that’s how I read stuff from Akira to the works of Raina Telgemeier. My neighborhood has a Little Free Library, which I also use a lot. I usually average 40-42 books a year, and so far I’ve already read 43 this year, and I’m almost done with read number 44 (Confederates in the Attic by Tony Horwitz).

I can relate to Boxes’ sense of wonder upon entering the library in today’s comic.

Thanks to everyone who came to see me at Capital City Comic Con on Saturday! Look for a blog post this week with photos and video! Yes, I said video. I did a short Facebook live video in Artist Alley on Saturday afternoon.

I will say, I do enjoy single day comic cons. It means I have all of Sunday to recover (and along with our garage sale on Friday, I definitely needed a day to rest).

Comic Transcript – Foxes & Boxes – 49

Boxes: So many books!

Boxes: I hop Fox is okay.

::Fox, running away from the elemental::
Fox: Ahhhhhh!
Elemental: Stay still!
