[Panel 1]
[Nils]
Gaaaaaaaaah.
[Elizabeth]
Should I ask?
[Nils]
I just went to join the local
library, so that I can get into
the on-line OED without paying.
[Elizabeth]
So what went wrong?
[Panel 2]
[Nils]
Well, first off, it's not a library
any more, it's an "Idea Store".
[Elizabeth]
Uh-oh.
[Nils]
And second off, it's all CDs
and DVDs and magazines and
computers and Learning
Courses and babysitting and
Gaaaaaaaaaah.
[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
Did they have ANY books?
[Nils]
I found some eventually.
Turn right at the Net Station,
through the kinderpocalypse,
cut behind the foreign film DVDs,
then through the doors where it
says DANGER OF ELECTROCUTION.
Four whole shelves of them.
[Panel 4]
[Nils]
And one shelf was Family Sagas...
[Elizabeth]
You know, I could
just sneak you
into work.
[Nils]
That doesn't get me the magic
number for the OED.
So I joined. Then they couldn't
read my shiny new card.
At least I know my barcode
scanner is better than theirs...
