Glasbergen Cartoons by Randy Glasbergen for September 29, 2022

The very “fibers” of our beings.

Live trees don’t hold ink so well.

It is a test to see if anyone would notice.

The kid has a point. I want to see a second panel with the teacher’s answer.

So, does this mean that libraries are ecological disaster areas?

“While they might have been trees at some point, these books used to be toilet paper…”

Well? Why are they?

I mean, really, you have to lick your fingers to swipe the page changes. And not one clickable link. Yeesh.

“It’s because they can be printed on live trees, but they are more difficult to carry around.”

Wood and paper can be sourced ecologically. They are a renewable resource.

Calling paper “dead trees” is about the same as calling bread “dead wheat”. Both are farmed.

Hopefully at least it is recycled paper. But nowadays the books should be electronic.
