15 sharp-witted, reading-themed cartoons from an Iranian comic contest

Wow – all of these were fantastic! Would love to see more!
Extremely thought provoking. I had to look at each comic strip for a while to grasp what the author way saying.
I love the first and the last ones. Check that, I kind of love all of them.
Beautiful.
Every drawing is a piece of genius and requires a second look for understanding, what the drawing wants to say..
I love the first one!
Very nice!! wittily, unusual, just cool!!
We’d love it if these artists would submit their great work to our magazine. Love it!
Having seen those, I just have to go see the rest! Wonderfully imaginative and thought provoking.
