This is a compilation of sarcastic and satirical comic strips about libraries, librarians, working for a living, working with the public for a living and striving to maintain a public service while rabid politicians are ranting about the need to privatize everything they possibly can unless it effects them personally. With all that said, it's very funny. Here's a dialogue between Mel, the head librarian, and Dewey the young reference librarian:
Dewey: So there I am playing "Spider Solitaire" for like two hours, the same game, trying over and over. Do I give up? No, I persevere.
Finally I look in the help file and do you now what it says? "Not every game is winnable". Not every game is winnable!
Mel: And you did this while you were working on the information desk?
Dewey: My point exactly! All those people waiting in line for no reason!

Another collection of the Unshelved webcomic. Some of the story arcs are not a fleshed out as other webcomics. Leaves you wishing for more followup. Lots of stories that I can relate to being a former librarian. ( )

What's so funny about a library? Just about everything, as you'll find out in Library Mascot Cage Match, the third Unshelved collection. In addition to a year's worth of comic strips featuring library mascots duking it out and the return of the masked mystery man known only as "the Shusher," LMCM features the all-new full-color graphic novelette Empire County Strikes Back. Can Mallville's librarians defeat the mother of all bookmobiles?
