Library humor

In today’s Dustin, the librarian has just told Dustin that she runs a tight ship.

I wonder how many other readers will seek out a list of Dewey Decimal classes to get the joke. (No link: it’s DIY humor.)

The librarian’s bun, pencil, and glasses chain have reminded me to recommend Bill Denton’s coverage of libraries in Archie comics. Thanks, Stephen.

[Did you know that Melvil Dewey was a racist, anti-Semite, and sexual harasser and was known and censured as such in his time? Consider, too, the assumptions that underwrite Dewey’s classifications for religion, homosexuality, and subjects related to women.]
