Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for July 14, 2009

Transcript:

Dad says, "I want you to sign this contract promising to read some books this summer." Nate says, "A contract? You're forcing me to read?" Nate says, "I don't want to read because you're making me read! I want to read for the sheer joy of it!" Dad says, "Uh-huh. And how often do you read for the sheer joy of it?" Nate says, "All the time!" Dad says, "...Not including comic books." Nate says, "Oh. Then never."
