Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 10, 2018

But who would want to escape from the bookstore?

don’t need books for the great escape nowadays. Watching MSM news is enough.

Building a basement reading room?

I don’t see them so he must have taken the baseball and mitt with him…

…wait a little while and you’ll start finding this comic cut out of the newspaper and taped up in some out of the way spot of your favorite out of the way book store…

There is no escape from the truth of the great books.

That was one big bookworm.

Just don’t let the door close. Just don’t.

I see nothing! I hear nothing!

Maybe the guy just likes to read somewhere without distractions

And so went the literalist reader of Jules Verne’s “A Journey to the Centre of the Earth.”

You forgot the pommel horse to hide your escape.

From the comments, it appears many think a person dug their way out of the book store. No, they came from someplace else, and used the book store to escape. See, they left the shovel. Didn’t need it anymore.

" The Bookshank Redemption "

May be a variation on the Burgess Meredith bank vault from the Twilight Zone episode. Hope he’s got TWO pairs of glasses.

I know it’s only a sight gag, but it does suggest someone doesn’t like books or reading. Me? I’d spend all day in a place like that.

oh the irony

Shouldn’t we be seeing motorcycle exhaust?

Was that the entrance to Tom, Dick or Harry? Hopefully not Dick. They found Dick. Or was it Tom?

Recently we had a long time book store close in our neighborhood. A quirky place with nooks and crannies for reading, a permanent chess set, and the obligatory cat wandering about or sleeping on a shelf. Amazon may be less expensive, but it is NOT the same; they have no soul.

Using the door wouldn’t be FUNNY.

The store owner is deep in debt?

Is that Tom, Dick or Harry?

Steve McQueen owns a bookstore?

I miss book stores.

My father liked nothing better than finding an obscure old book store with a lot of old stock and nooks and crannies to explore. He started taking me with him at a very young age and I caught the passion too! That kind of store is getting harder and harder to find.

There is still an independent book shop open near me. They deal in both new and used books. Being of the elderly persuasion, I don’t get there as often as I used to, and my store credit is astronomically high. Being elderly, I often forget to take it with me and pay for my purchases. Silly old me. Fondness and nostalgia are all well and good, but cold hard cash going into the registers probably count for a lot more.

It’s not a Tunnel, they just hired a new Advertising Consultant who thought the Hole would fit the store’s Theme and draw in extra customers.

They’re coming back tomorrow to install the pendulum…

Nemish escaped

With the shovel being left behind, more like TO the bookstore…
