    “Well, thank you for the compliment, prune lady…now burn her garage/non-ADA accessible bookstore DOWN!”

    Okay, so when do Mopey Pete and his Teen Brigade show up?

    Remember, kids! If you’re ever confronted by a raging mob of arsonists who want to kill you for [REASONS], just call them “grunting”! It’ll be over quick! They’ll all get ashamed and shuffle away to read Flash #123, or kill you! (PS Tom: That’s not how you spell “pathetic”)

    This has got to be the most patient mob of enraged rioters in hysteria. I mean history.

    The mob starts to attack—then Crankshaft speaks up: “Hold it! I’ve got a school bus and I’m not afraid to use it! I know where your mailboxes live!”

    LILLIAN

    : “Lights, please.”

    [SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON LILLIAN]

    “I’m one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the ‘guilty’.But I did not speak and thus became guilty myself.And when finally they set the structure to burn the books, using the firemen, I grunt a few times and subsided.For there were no others grunting and yelling with me. By then, now, its too late"

    [LILLIAN TURNS AND QUIETLY EXITS]

    “That’s what censorship is all about, Eddie Crankshaft.”

    So the Scooby Doo Squad is going to record Lil’s inchorent ramble, then post it on this thing Tom has heard of (“It’s called—MyFaceWho-knewtube!”) and the whole world is going to TokTik it on Xitter, and everything will simply END. No one will ever speak of the felonies committed. Indeed, Nobel Prize committee—where IS his Pulitzer?

    The real irony is that tha book ain’t banned, and they not wants to bsn it too. They just not want it in one little school’s syllabus that is all, and that ain’t banning. Going by what they was shouting clearly seen in strip some days ago was BAN THE BOOKSTORE and not ban the book. Two is completely different theengs see.

    More irony is ol Lilly here falsely claiming someone set fire to yours bookstore. It was clearly seen that only a couple of bottom stairs was targeted with intention of keeping yours bookstore safe and sound.

    And not to mentions irony of placards holding protest in the middle of the night. What the point in placards when everyone’s sleeping? Not to mentions getting arrested for causing nuisance in middle of night.

    Speaking of getting attested ain’t nobody calling the police because why calls the cops when you has the batty komix squad. Hey why call cops nearby in your own town when ya can calls the Krazy komix squad from another town.

    And not to mentions so many other points already mentioned in commentary since this ironic idiocy started. There so muc irony here me won’t has to worries bout iron deficiency in me haemoglobin for a thousands years. This whole theeng is just a big sham scam charade. It’s called irony. Maybe they shoulda called Irony Man instead of Batty Man. Ping ping ping ping ping!
