    I personally, have the reverse situation with my library. Books vanish from their system with no explanation. AND creeps scratch DVDs, which are kept on loan. Not to mention the food on pages of books which are available. . ..

    Gotta love a gun-totin’ librarian! Kinda reminds me of the Library Ninjas in the TV cartoon series Jacob Two-Two (episode 38).

    Rat, I think the librarian has something she wants you to check out.

    That would never happen at my library – whoever does the hiring likes girls who look like they’d have trouble lifting a firearm.

    Stephan seems to be repeating himself. There was a strip nearly identical to this one a couple of years ago that featured librarians at the door with guns demanding that Rat return an overdue book.

    “Grannie Get Your Gun” Nice job by Pastis drawing an AR15. She shops at LGD’s armory.

    @ hariseldon59, maybe Rat still hasn’t returned that book.

    The fact that they AREN’T militant tyrants is exactly WHY it’s funny. The absurdity of it.

    There was one book returned that was 238 years overdue (no, you didn’t read that wrong. It was years). The librarian was nice enough to waive the fee for the great grandson of the person that checked it out.

    @dukedoug:Over the years I’ve been privileged to have torrid affairs (and two were actual affairs) with 3 (!) librarians. My advice? Check out a librarian!
