My cat took it upon herself to squeak when I read out “Yes, I Am a Dunce”, much to my horror.

These are fine, but I’m inordinately pleased that since this book was published cat meme technology has continued to improve.

Now that gifts have been exchanged, I can share this: a print-ready 24" x 36" PDF made from the high-res Archive.org scans of the book (20 MB), which I printed and framed for Kitteh for Christmas.
