The "Crime": The boy looks at an exhibit, likely a mummy, and breathes on the glass display case.  The Punishment: A guard spots the boy and has him arrested. He is then subjected to a formal trial and sentenced to a long period of hard labour in prison.  The Return: After his release decades later, the boy returns to the museum as an old man.  The Final Act: Standing before the same display case, the man breathes on the glass one last time and immediately drops dead.  A Criticism of Life.  Wordless comic strip.

Pocketsize (12 x 15cm) softcover in fine condition.  Faded front cover.  Crease to spine.
