Panel 1: Barbara is teaching a kids' lit class.

Student: I think you just hate Twilight because it's popular.

Barbara: Only partly true, spiky-haired girl.

Panel 2: The screen now shows a picture of Harry Potter, a "greater than" sign, and a picture of Bella Swan from Twilight.

Barbara: I enjoy the Harry Potter series, which is arguably more
popular than the Twilight series.

Panel 3:

Barbara: Of course, Harry Potter informs young readers that magic is alive in the world, whereas Twilight encourages little girls to fall obsessively in love with abusive stalkers.

Panel 4:

Student: ...Harsh, dude.

Barbara: I lost a preteen cousin to the sourge that is Twilight. Don't let it happen to you.

Alt-Text: Where have all the young girls gone? They've gone to _Twilight_, every one. When will they ever learn? When will they eeeeeeeeever learn?
