A cartoon in which the speech bubbles are categorised by colour.
Panel 1: A man cooks dinner for a woman who is looking at his bookshelves. He calls from the kitchen”I hope you’re not judging me on my bookshelves?” (Blue) She replies “Haha, no!” (Orange)
Panel 2: She takes a book off the shelf and asks “Have you read all of these?” (Blue) He replies “Of course!” (Orange)
Panel 3: she leafs through the book and asks “Can I borrow this?’ (Blue) He replies “Sure, I love lending my books!” (Orange)
The key below explains that Blue represents a question and orange represents a lie.


I’m very upfront about which of my books I haven’t read, and I don’t mind lending the ones I already read. I usually have a couple of books in my car to exchange at free little libraries too
