Comic about a friend borrowing a book from another friend who is very picky about the process of lending books.
Panel 1: A red-haired person asks, "Hey Esme, may I borrow this book of yours?" Esme, who is reading a book, hands over a form and replies, "Sure. Just fill out this form."
Panel 2: Red-haired person looks at a stack of paperwork and says, "There are eight pages." Esme replies, "That's just for the 1st loan. You can switch to the condensed version next time."
Panel 3: Red hair person asks, "Wow. You really don't like it when people dog-ear pages in your books, do you?" Esme, still reading, answers, "Nope."
Panel 4: Red hair person asks, "What exactly IS a pillory, anyway?" Esme offers another sheet of paper and says, "Want to borrow my dictionary? You'll need to fill out a different form."
