Oh, Matilda!

Matilda was an extraordinary girl. She was only five and a half years old, but she would read anything she could get her hands on. After reading the newspaper and cookbook several times, she asked her father for a real book to read.

"A BOOK?! You're gettin' SPOILED, little girl! We have a perfectly fine 70 inch, flat-screen HD telly WITH internet! Look how interested I am! I'm LITERALLY GLUED to it!"

So begins the tale of Matilda, books, and some super glue. Based loosely on Roald Dahl's story and Quentin Blake's illustrations, this bring Matilda into today.

PS - this comic is a favorite of librarians and I believe we've mentioned it before. They do regular book reviews, some in comic form, and often review books for teens.
