Today’s strip is our contribution to the upcoming Reading With Pictures anthology, dedicated to putting comics into schools and schools into comics. Editor Josh Elder asked us to reveal ours ahead of time as a way of building excitement (every single other contributor to the book is much more talented than we). You can order your copy today by donating on their Kickstarter site. Tell ‘em that Gene and Bill sent you!
