comic book
n.— «Forgery is so rampant that many truckers simply refer to their records as “comic books.” Some drivers, in fact, keep two separate logs—an accurate one for their trucking firm so that they can get their expenses reimbursed, and a counterfeit vversion to show in case they get stopped by police or highway patrolmen.» —Ladies Home Journal Mar., 2005.
