Panel 1: Barbara is teaching a kids' lit class.
Student: At least Twilight has got kids reading, right?
Barbara: True, girl who thinks I can't see her texting.
Panel 2: The screen now shows a picture of someone reading a book, an "equals" sign, and a checkmark.
Barbara: As much as I loathe Twilight's style and subjet matter, I must admit that any reading is better than no reading.
Panel 3:
Barbara:
And maybe some little girl who starts out with a mindless crush on
Edward will grow up to write imaginative, nuanced books herself.
Panel 4:
Student: Edward...squee!
Barbara: Or that may happen, in which case I wash my hands of humanity.
Alt-Text: My
brain knows that any reading is better than no reading. My temper goes
RAAAAAARRRRRR every time I think of Edward watching Bella sleep.
