Best guess: It’s the only way he can find undisturbed time to read his book.
Other guesses: He just hates being disrobed. He just hates taking baths or getting wet. He loves reading in the bath, but won’t risk getting the book soaked.
A bit too cyclic for me to figure out. “I Answer to General Ouroboros” is the cartoonist’s title for this episode.
A synchronicity from Andréa!
What is the joke in this one? ¿Cuál es el chiste en este?
And what is the joke in this version? ¿Y cuál es el chiste en esta versión?
Are they the same joke? Why not ? :-) ¿Son el mismo chiste? Por qué no ? :-)
We can’t let a Whack-a-Mole reference go by without linking to Cameron Esposito’s “Guacamole” bit! (In case the “start at” feature in the link doesn’t work, you might want to skip an intro and jump to about 1:40.)

Thanks to Andréa for this MythTickle:
This went right by my reading-the-comics-too-quickly eyes until I happened on it featured in Comic Strip of the Day column where he points out that the joke works only if the reader can supply the title.
FYI, John Hambrock does The Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee.
Okay, the basic joke seems to be that he is performing that “hiring” process for the position of principal hostage. Is there also something going on about his pantyhose mask? Is it that hard to find separate single-leg stockings?
Sent by BillR, who says “I know Scott Hilburn likes puns. A lot, in fact. But I don’t get this one.”
I don’t get it either. The GoComics comments do give a possible explanation, though IMO a rather feeble one — and not much like a pun.
