No boob tube-a-roo!_ _‘Twas turning my noodle to video goo!_ _Yes, there’s something much better for smart chaps like me_ _From what I have heard, it’s known as ‘to read’!_ _Books! I’ll read books! Be they large or quite dinky!_ _Straight from the shelves all musty and stinky!_ _Faulkner! O’Neill! Twain and Saul Bellow!_ _I think I’ll curl up with a few of those fellows!_ _Yes, I’ll soon be well-read! Such a fab thing to be!_ _I’ve allowed plenty of time,_ _At least an hour . . . or three._ Opus looks at the bookshelves surrounding him at the public library. Next panel, we see him in front of the TV, watching “Gilligan’s Island.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-carton-of-camels-by-noon-or-permanent-penguin-pate-bloom-county/995202.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-carton-of-camels-by-noon-or-permanent-penguin-pate-bloom-county/995202.md?page=3)
