Hard Read
I finally just got the joke in this PBF comic after encountering it for the third time. It's pretty funny, but it should have emphasized more that the book-people aren't looking at each other in the middle panel. In fairness, I suppose this is tricky to do if your characters lack faces.
(At first I thought maybe the man-book was apologizing for impotence or something, but that didn't really explain why they're books in the first place. I found myself feeling a whisper of 6th-grade anxiety that here was a dirty joke that all my friends were laughing at while it only perplexed me.)
