Actually, me and a buddy HAVE taken over a library once. Nothing major. Just barricaded the sci-fi section an declared independence. Didn't work well. Had to put all the books back.

Rats... I was hoping soeone had been more successful than I.

Two attempts do not yet make a rule.
Now, three failed coups in a library means one needs to set their aims a bit lower. Like the local food place. If there are two things that have always gone hand in hand for me, it is good books, and good food.

Well, I don't think it'd be demonic if I'd get a free pass for Gene's Library. ; )

reminds me of Donald duck and the vault of gold. "it's all mine, mine, mine" lol *whistles the money song and walks off*

*puts page under a microscope* Hmmmm..... well after much experimentation I must conclude that that image makes you 10% more demonic than normal. Still safe to approach, but can't leave pies by the window.

LOL weird story, but very fun Gene!

BWAHAHAHAHA! Control the world's knowledge through enforced access to libraries!

....or some such thing.

I never bother with our library nowadays. There's never anything I'm interested in there.

MY BOOKS! MINE! NOT YOURS!

*covets books*

Ah, then you know the feeling, too!

*Laughs* What a fitting end. I love the top panel's expression and perspective. Really gives the "Feh, who needs 'em" feeling.

Just you wait for a short story to pop up on MY page, Your Felinity. I simply MUST respond.

Uh-oh...What have I done? <=)

You, sir, are evil. Evil, evil, evil. So cunningly and skillfully evil I cannot even resent you for it. Only mutter with grudging admiration that you are evil. :)

I learned from the best. Black cats make excellent teachers. Besides, this is what would happen if libraries didn't have late fees.

By the way, sorry I took so long to reply. I haven't looked at this bit of artwork in a while, and since you technically responded to your own post, I didn't get a notification.

Did I? Well.. I didn't mean to, but that seemed to be the order of things.

Ah, well. At least I don't have to pay fines on overdue replies. ^^

In other news, I'm hoping that the Elementary School I attended doesn't have overdue fees--I came across a book I borrowed when I was in Grade 5--more than 20 years ago!

And a followup: I was mistaken: The book was from the local high school, not the elementary chool. And today I returned it--21 years and one week overdue.

HA HA HA HA HA, love that conclusion XD XD

This sounds like a good plan to me. LET'S DO IT.

Such a random little story, I love it, LOL.

Hey, you don't know how often I've been tempted...

Not if you want the NSA to take you down X3

no offence but you COULD but who would CARE

Actually, when you drew this for Huzzah (what, in 1988 or something? 1992?), two bucks would seem like rather a lot. Here in Stardate 21017.9 3/4, or whenever it is today, two bucks doesn't seem like much to chew about. I suppose too, there has to be some way to ensure people bring back the books at all. We should be grateful for library fines, not to mention that books are otherwise without appreciable value. (If you ever tried to sell one to a used bookstore, you'll know what I mean.) If not for small cruelties like that, drug fiends would rob libraries, pay the nickel fine and sell all the books for crack cocaine. Republicans would reserve them only for prestigious universities that educate the rich. Professional atheletes would collect them for status symbols but never read them...

It's the principle of the thing, Taral. :)

(And what's this about selling a book to a bookstore? What, and not have the book anymore? O_O)

On occasion I've bought a book I read and found was a turkey or had nothing to say or was plain boring. (D.M. Thomas, say.) Had I my druthers I might just shelf them in the turkey wing of my extensive library, and forget about it. But a dollar is a dollar, if I can get it, and my 550 square feet of space is far from extensive. Of maybe 4,000 books I"ve owned in my life, I've probably sold or given away about half. Even so, I've a serious problem knowing what to do with the better half.

Oh my, gene you sure knwo how to overdo things lol

No. no.. the book was overdue!

true but the response to the news was overdone as well well done either way

TAKE IT! IT'S ALL YOURS! I 'ate books! They don't taste good!

Not even cookbooks?

Not even those! I have one but it's just standing on a shelf...
