Bloom County: Binkley's anxiety closet

Description

Binkley is in bed, but not asleep. The snorklewacker is bouncing on his bed in a veritable tizzy of anxiety-producing euphoria.

"Wake up, Binkley! Wake up! Wake up!!"

Binkley sits up, clutching the blankets to his chin, as the snorklewacker continues, "Oh, we have wonderful anxiety of yours tonight, Binkley! Hoo boy, it's really the pits!!"

The snorklewacker waves something in front of Binkley's bleary eyes, explaining, "Look! Look what I found in the back of the closet, Binkley! A Dr. Seuss book! "Green Eggs and Ham!"... Remember it? Now, wait while I go fetch Mrs. McGreevy!"

Binkley sits, holding the book, and tries to remember... 'Mrs. McGreevy? Why, she's the... the...'

THWONK!! A battle-axe embeds itself in the wall above Binkley's head.

"...librarian!!" Binkley finishes the thought and screams the word as a little old lady, carrying a bloodstained axe, smiles at him and says, "119 weeks overdue, dear..."

I have yet to find an official Bloom County/Outland site on the Internet.

Comments

Again with the librarian stereotype, although this one at least has an interesting onion dome hat.
The bloodstained battle-axe, incidentally, is completely inaccurate. A real librarian would not hack at anything that might bleed over the carpeting - not if there are perfectly hackable malfunctioning computers in the area.

Trust me on this one.
