Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 16, 2011
Transcript:
Pig: Hey, Rat... we got one of those automated phone calls from the library saying you have an overdue book... you better return it. Rat: Who cares, dude? It's one automated message. Let's at least wait 'til we get two. Pig: I don't think we get two.

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).

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

Maybe the Librarian likes this recipe:55gr FMJ hornady26.0 Gr 748 powderCCI 400LC 99 Cases
Works great in My AR! 3310 MVVery effective against pigs and extremely effective against rats. ;-)

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.

Didn’t notice the slick switch to a flat screen. I suspect that this is the first appearance.

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!
