I take it “a depression” is what Patty meant by concussion, in Panel 4, just from the sound of things. I’ve never read “Pilgrim’s Progress,” but if it is at all depressing, or has its sad moments, that may have been what Patty was referring to, when she told Marcie reading that story would “give her a concussion.”

Pilgrims Progress is a famous christian book intended to be a metaphor for christian life. It is very much a fantasy novel though.
