Angriest Rice Cooker Director’s Cut 59–On books

I’m pretty sure that this one started with me just thinking about what a book review by the Rice Cooker would work like and the comic evolved naturally from that into a joke lifted from an early Dilbert, when Dogbert marketed a newspaper that you can read every day. I like to think my version is a little more character-oriented rather than based on an odd bit of social commentary, but I know I thought of that Dilbert when I was throwing this one together.

In fairness to books, I think that the rice cooker thinks of basically everything as charming (or not-so-charming) distractions from the tedium of everyday life. It’s probably obvious, but this comic is a place where the opinions of myself and my creation diverge considerably. Books were my first love, and they remain a central part of my life.

I just wrote this book review, “A charming if ultimately pointless distraction from the tedium of everyday life. 3 stars.” The best part is I’ll only need the one.
