Before the internet, Cliff Notes were popular books that summarized and provided insight into meaning for classical literature. Students used them in place of reading the actual book.
I completely missed that on the table until you pointed out, and was highly confused as to what he actually did
I just kept thinking that it was supposed to be condoms for some reason lol.
In Poland, we still do read this type of things instead of the actual book, because it’s better at preparing you for the exams
Thank you. This joke completely went over my head.

A lot of classics, especially those from the 19th century were initially serialized in newspapers, and the resulting doorstopper of a book was never meant to be read in a short time frame that teachers usually give for reading and report writing.
Even now, I remember much more about those books where along with which I read the Cliffs Notes, than whatever halfbrained notions I came up with on my own about books like Animal Farm.
Kind of confusing to read, but I hope you get the gist.
At some point you realize that many of the classic books are just… really good books! The terrible part is what they do to them in literature class. But many of those old books have become classics for a reason.
How does the book suddenly appear on the table in the second frame? It could not have been obscured by the the man’s jeans, because he is still wearing them in the first frame.
It’s falling out of his jeans, but movement lines don’t really gel with the artists’ style
