...except for *other* short people, of course. We KNOW she'll attack. It's Harlan Ellison Syndrome, and having met the man years and years ago I can promise it's well named.
Unless you're perfectly polite. I too met the man (a number of times). Just think of his personality archetype as 'Baba Yaga', If you use all your well-learned politesse, you'll survive unharmed.
dat goo
Liz can be Marten’s new sidekick A-Cup, instead of Half-Pint.
Man I would really hate for there to be some administrative reason Claire can't take the job.
Well, whatever administrative reason that is would have to be prepared to explain it to all of Cubetown, including Liz who still might not have got all the dickpunching out of her system
Martin's new coffee shop name; "Dewey Decimal's Coffee and Tea"
To quote Tai: "Dewey Decimal? Do we ever!"
Liz has found her true calling.
This is where Claire negotiates an appropriately yuuuuge signing bonus.
The most powerful organizing force is having to present your work to someone else.
Absolutely. For years, I was the champion of having code reviews, and though I struggled to write legible code, the code I wrote was complete illegible crap. Finally, we got approval to have a code review process, and my code quality went up immensely because finally I had to show someone else. And they had to understand it. I think it's less that I was forced to have them look at my code, because I'm sure had I not pushed for code reviews, I could have gone for years longer without having them. But suddenly I had a target audience to aim for, and that target audience wasn't me five minutes before I got the idea for the update.
It's nice to see Liz being protective of, and looking out for, other people so readily.
At this point, they are her closest - and possibly only - friends. They have shown her not only that *they* care, but also that *she* is worth caring about. I think she would defend them to the death.
One of your finest Robutts, Jeph.
Claire could get some pointers from Marten's Mom about projecting the Satanic Librarian vibe, but I guess that would be weird for Marten.
What, you want people to get MORE excited?
I for one welcome our new Bibliothecarian Overlord.
swear fealty to the Librarian!
Moray butt
So it turns out Claire's job is entirely a vibe. All the Librarian has to do is exist, and everyone will organise themselves out of guilt :)
She's already automated her role! xD
Rah, rah, ree: Kick ‘em in the knee! Rah, rah, rass: Kick ‘em in the other knee!
I have a friend whose nickname is "Evil Child" because she too is perfect junk punching height (also older than me, and I'm 45).
I'd say something snarky about the velvet rope, but we aren't allowed to kink shame here...
I feel like all of Pintsize's line just went to Liz, and I'm here for it. She's great.
Pintsize: Now when I'm not small anymore, it feels wrong to be crude Liz: Out of my way, flagpole. It's junk-punching-time
I love how the legend grows And I love how Liz went straight to dick-punching. She'll do great in academia, as long as she get proper support
Young Pilgrims is an underrated song.
Why do I feel like Karla may have been some influence for Liz
Some influence? I bet it’s like 125%.
Liz is 98% sure being bouncer means she gets a bouncy castle. She ran simulations.
Beware their kneecaps!
Short people are often dismissed - but we have a lower center of gravity, and we're closer to knees/genitalia.
As a tall person (6’7” or roughly 2m), I worry about short people. They’re typically the ones ready to fight with little provocation.
I like how during panels 2-4, Claire manages to scoot back behind everyone else including Moray.
Cubetown residents continue to have no chill
Honestly, Clinton should apply for a position. He would fit right in And then he and Claire would get to bring their sibling energy to the professional field. Oh how fun
They're calling her the Librarian but they know she's there to Audit their asses.
I feel like this is a prologue to The Accountant. Y'know, that Ben Affleck movie where he's an accountant-for-hire and also an assassin-who-is-less-for-hire.
Wow... Liz's eyes really go through a journey in the space of four panels
Anyone tries to mess with HER librarian it's junk punching time
Attack Goblin deployed
The Shins are a great band! Are they playing at Cubetown? I could really go for The Shins.
Oh god... I do NOT EVER want to gt on Just Small's bad side.
As a tall person: hopefully the bad side is not the top!
I used to do security. It was fun. 90% of my job was just standing there being intimidating.
So the Elliot/Yay intimidate-off (4374) really rang with you, I take it.
Panel 3: goblin about to do some serious bothering.
Never a moment's rest for a poor Librarian
She'll have to do so much shushing.
protective gremlin >:3
I wanna see The Director excited now.
So much *Bloop*!
Witness the power of this fully operational smol gremlibeth
Don't be so proud of this technological terror you've created. The power of Gremlizabeth is nothing compared to the power of The Librarian. OOK!
Is it bad that Moray seated makes me want a Bubbles-style nsfw image of her, too?
she ~ s q u i s h y ~
I came looking for booty.
So did "arr" the PIRATES!
Claire apparently needs an audience chamber.
What is the coronation ceremony like for a new Librarian? Is this it?
THEN THE GOBLIN IN BACK SAID 'EVERYONE ATTACK!' AND IT TURNED INTO A BARROOM BLITZ.... BARROOM BLITZ.
Thanks for that earworm from yesteryear. 😀❤️
Tremble before the might of The Librarian!!!
Guess Data Mistress it is.
Elizabeth is familiar with Dwarven combat techniques. If your head is at waist level, then their crotch is at teeth level.
That booty.
It. Is. Thiccccc.
New slang.
Herding cats is nothing compared to this.
This will be a great role for Liz. "I was gonna greet The Librarian, but I'm really not feeling the energy to deal with someone who's difficult."
As long as she does it without insults, as that might get her removed from the bar.
OMG weaponized Gremlizabeth! 🥹
Kick 'em in the d00ts!
