“Remember, if confronted by a librarian while looking for a book to check out, do not attempt to escape by climbing a tree. There are no trees in the library. And the precious moments it will take you to look around and realize this will allow the librarian to strike. If approached by a librarian, keep still. Do not run away. Try to make yourself bigger than the librarian.” Cecil Gershwin Palmer

This was one of my all time favorites of the old Bloom County. Of course, I am married to a Librarian, so I am biased.

Except for new DVDs, our library recently eliminated all fines. They do, however, reserve the right to freeze your account.

Ah, librarians. To be a battle ax wielding a battle ax… I missed my calling.

Could be worse; it could have been “Conan the Librarian”…

Scandalous defamation of librarians! Some of my favorite people!
(I have no books overdue.)

I think I was Binkley’s age when this Sunday strip was first released.
