Banned Books - Gator Days
Banned Books - Gator Days

Transcript

Panel 1

Olivia and Gustopher are at the library. The Library is having a special event for books that have been banned in the past. Dora the librarian is stacking books with titles like "BOOK", "Boogers", "Tales", "Can you", "read this" and "Word". Olivia has a great interest in forbidden knowledge and has been browsing what's available. She's found a book called "Salt Box" and has an important question for the librarian.

Olivia: Miss Librarian! Why was this book banned?

Dora: Vulgar Language.

Panel 2

Dora makes a shocked expression and holds her hands to her face. This is the only way she can express how depraved the book is.

Dora: The word "butt" is used.... FIFTEEN TIMES!

Panel 3

Dora looks down to the children to gather their reaction. Internally, Gustopher is wondering if Dora meant "but" with one "t" or "butt" with two. Olivia immediately assumes it's the latter.

Behind them is a poster promoting banned books week. There is a cartoon book that's smiling and saying "I'm forbidden!" He's booky the banned book. He was specifically banned for being made using the darkest of magic. He's also kind of rude.

Panel 4

Olivia is excited about the book. This leads Gustopher to assume that "butt" was indeed spelled with an extra "t".

Olivia: Now I have to read it.

Dora: Oh noooo... I'll help you check it out.

Ultimately, I see this all a first step towards learning more about myself. The conclusion might not even be what I'm expecting but it doesn't hurt to take in information and see where it leads. Fern Brady helped me along that journey and I hope I can provide even a little of the same for others.

One of the reasons I felt motivated to make a comic about it is the awkwardness of the discovery phase. The possibility of autism has been brought up in my life before by friends and medical professionals. It would typically be shut down by others in my life who had more of a say in the matter.

I'm less worried about a diagnosis and more focused on how it can explain some of my behaviors. Even if there's a possibility that I'm not autistic, I still feel that I'm learning a lot about myself in the process. There's always a utility in that.
