![PANEL 1: ARTHUR, a yellow duck, runs up to SHELDON, a ten year old boy with large glasses, laying in the grass. In ARTHUR’s mouth he holds a book.
ARTHUR: I got you a new fantasy book att he Library.
SHELDON: Ooo! What is it?
PANEL 2: ARTHUR has put the book down, while SHELDON sits up, annoyed.
ARTHUR: Does it even matter? You’ll read ANY sword ’n sorcery book.
SHELDON: How insulting! You think I’ll take any ol’ fantasy book you hand me? Whether or not it’s good?
PANEL 3: ARTHUR stands on one leg as he sings his respond. SHELDON stops his train of thought.
ARTHUR: [music notes] it has a maaaaap [music notes] of all the little kingdoms
PANEL 4: ARTHUR stands quietly, amused, as SHELDON, eyes dilated, goes nose-deep in the book. No text.

![This single panel comic shows a peacefully bucolic scene with blue sky, white puffy clouds, trees in the background, green grass, a yellow birch tree casting shade down on ARTHUR, the yellow duck who smiles sweetly with his eyes closed. On the other side of the panel lays an iphone.
The poem has red lines crossing out words and written new ones in red.
