Book Burning
by Jeff
Image text: Of course, since their cautionary tale was reported in a print newspaper, no one read it.
In this comic, the characters want to burn all the copies they can get their hands on of a certain book so they can demonstrate how it contains heresy. In this case, the Kindle edition of the book is much cheaper than the hardcover, so they attempt to burn a Kindle instead. The result of burning the Kindle is death by toxic fume inhalation because the Kindle is an electronic book reader instead of a book made of paper.
