Dr. Lee Commission
Shaenon: A commission piece. Man, people love cobras. I’m going to put cobras in all my comics from now on.
Channing: Well, they love your cobras, at least. Actual living cobras might generate a lower overall happiness quotient in the audience. This is frikkin’ adorable, but sadly, this isn’t one of my better punchlines, as it sort of requires you to have participated in an e-mail exchange leading up to the strip in question about what Japanese sexual classification Dr. Lee falls into. Still, it amused me, and presumably amused at least one other person, and that means Joke Success.
It would help us to understand if you actually put the explanation
I dunno, I kinda like letting my mind run rampant with two questions:
1) How does that cwute widdle cwobwa know what a librarian smells like?
and
2) What DOES a librarian smell like??
2) books, librarians smell like books other than that… Dust, hard candy… Certain mild perfumes?
1) because…. Other books?
Well *I* still think it’s a great punchline.
Hey, anybody who didn’t make the Yomiko Readman connection when Nick mentioned it (back when we first met both Nick and Virginia) needs to watch more early 2000s anime.
Librarians are hot, as are bibliophiles.
