woo hoo another book lover, i really love readintg books as well, mind you he should try reading the revised editon of “how to steal rent and grocery money from the guy sitting next to you” it has in bold letters on the front page DONT READ OUT LOUD.
mind you having that guy come along and sit beside you would be an awkward situation
I think Edmund needs to break somebody’s glasses before somebody breaks Edmund’s bank account. Great strip as usual Dan, it’s really cool seeing Edmund in the “eerie zone” brings back a lot of memories of those famous Twilight Zone episodes. I hope they are still around when my kids get older. They don’t make good shows like those anymore.
They definitely don’t make shows like The Twlight Zone anymore. Rather depressing. My kids, if I ever have them, will have access to a Twilight Zone library.
Step 1 in the book: using this book, render your intended victim unconcious. the real fun is the diagrams showing all sorts of methods for achieving step one.
Edward looks a bit uncomfortable in that last panel.
I bet he’s wondering when it would be considered polite to excuse himself and run like hell.
Then again, maybe not.
It’s the goddamn twilight zone, don’t you know anything?
the invisible cock gobblins that lurk about gave him that book just as he was reaching for one, to watch the fun that would follow as he tried to take that guy’s money lol.
I’d be cautious around Burgess Meredith in any of his roles. If he’s not crabbing at you for losing your balance during boxing lessons then he’s off committing crimes with exploding umbrellas! WAAAK WAAAK WAAAK!

That guy’s pretty lucky he had such an oddly specific book.
Lucky, or prepared?
…probably lucky.

I would look in his wheelbarrow for a book titled “How to Avoid Being Robbed by This Guy Sitting Next to Me.”

That was a good one, one of my faves, if a little cruel in the end.

This is what I was expecting, another reference. I’m glad that wasn’t it, I really don’t like that episode. It’s just so sad. :\

Move on Edmund…. before he finishes the book. Aren’t books such useful tools. They are also great for swatting flies.
Yep, tie a book to the end of a broomstick and you can swat the largest of flies.

Maybe I should write this book.

So this guy is kinda like Yomiko Readman, but *really* creepy and without any superpowers?
Googling Yomiko Readman…. and nope, no powers for this guy.

This is one of those times where reading over someone’s shoulder comes in handy.
It would be rude, but worth it.

Yep, all in the wheelbarrow, and wherever his secret stash.

Wow! You’re not going to believe this, but I grew up with a guy that looked JUST LIKE THAT! He wasn’t a reader though. Good guy, just not a reader.
Great job on the glasses as well!
Thanks, the glasses were fun to draw. Much easier than I thought they’d be. I was thinking “How do you draw thick GLASS?”

He does look uncomfortable, doesn’t he? I’d just run. The guy wouldn’t be able to keep up too well with that wheelbarrow full of books.

If his glasses break, at least he’ll still be able to read the large print.
If he eyes fall out, he’ll still be able to read the braille ones.
But if his hands fall off…

“It’s not fair. It’s just not fair!”
He’d be able to hear the audio books. Unless his ears fell off…

Strangely enough, I believe that’s the revised edition. The first edition omitted advice concerning whom not to steal from… like cops or hobos.
If you have a copy I’d like to see it.
