I don't even work in a library yet and this strip still cracked me up. (Honestly - social networking was an available midterm topic in one of my classes.) Unfortunately this strip likes to recommend lots of books and graphic novels I may never have time to read, at least not until around 2009. The people behind this comic were the ones that apparently sparked the Penny Arcade "Libratorr" strip.
I also keep finding out about libraries having manga clubs. Where were those when I was fifteen? Except that when I was fifteen the club would have had a selection of maybe five manga. Six or seven, maybe - I'm not sure when the Sailor Moon manga got licensed.
As long as I'm checking webcomics I haven't bothered to link before... Hammer of Grammar rules. I picked the classic "babies on spikes" strip, though Illidan's "Why does my fortress of ultimate evil have KICKY THROW PILLOWS?" strip is probably a better introduction since it's a one-off. Read the archives so you will understand why I keep talking about armor that'll keep at least one nipple warm. The RP humor also amuses me because I used to rp on AOL - though I imagine WoW doesn't have quite as many vampire dragon elves.
On those same lines, Elf Only Inn spent its early days as a humor strip about online roleplaying - not terribly good, but lines like "Come, my lady, let us go have three kids who will be grown up in a week" are funny if you ever took part in that kind of rp - then apparently relaunched about a year ago with many of the same characters, now in a not-WoW-only-it's-WoW game.
Have I pimped No Rest For the Wicked lately?
I think I'm losing my mind. I keep catching random whiffs of cat urine that then go away, and actual cat urine stink sure as hell doesn't go away after you smell it. I guess we'll know for sure if I've gone nuts if this follows me on the trip to visit my family.
