[PW] Sunday's "Opus" Comic

[Michael Hart]

>From original poster:

Yes, I saw the Harper Lee version here, as did many others,
probably millions of others.

And again yes, I thought the choice was NOT a random one.

Swapping in one about a commentary on blacks for one about
Muslims doesn't seem all that random to me.

Then again, I was originally thinking about eBooks. . . .


Thank You!!!
