[He . . . takes them . . . dubiously. Between two fingers. Like they're a dead spider.]

You're recommending them based on a lack of punching? And that's all.

[If they were a dead spider, there would be a lot more shrieking involved.]

That's just one reason since you clearly don't understand how exciting action is. But it's about a family caught in the middle of a war and they're trying to find each other again. It's not always as serious as that sounds, but you're the one always talking about how important family is so you'll like that.

[. . . Fuck you so much and forever for being thoughtful, you absolute asshole. He looks at Joseph. Looks at the top comic. Opens . . . it . . .]

This art is really strange.

But it's neat, right?

[Joseph is giving Caesar a look equivalent to a child expecting a parent to at least pantomime eating the mud sandwich they've spent all day making for them.]

[He looks at Joseph and just - feels absolutely flattened by the reality that ten minutes ago he was angry enough with this man to hurt him, and now all that he wants is to agree with everything Joseph says in order to keep that look on his face.]

It's not so bad. I'll read it, if it's that important to you, Jojo.

[That is, more or less, the exact answer that Joseph wanted to hear, so his face lights up with unfiltered joy and a clear sense of accomplishment.]

I promise if you don't like it, I'll never bug you about reading comics ever again. [...Or, well, he'd at least try not to.] But I know you're going to love it, so it's not an issue.

[Everyone is so sad that Caesar doesn't get this pun.]

You know that, do you?

[You better stop being cute right this second.]

[The narration is certainly mourning it. What a waste of an excellent pun!]

Of course I do. When have I ever been wrong about my predictions?

Mm.

[He turns a page, looking down at the comic book like he's mostly ignoring Joseph.]

I can't think of anything offhand.

[Normally being ignored would drive him insane and he'd start almost immediately trying to get Caesar's attention back. But if he's already getting hooked on the comic book, Joseph isn't going to fight it.]

Because I'm never wrong.
