Library Humour

I love getting these library oriented cartoons in my reader. So today I’ve decided to blog my three favourite library cartoons and another two:
Unshelved (I’ve been reading this one since it was called Overdue) This one is the star of library land with a booth at ALA, speeches from the author/illustrator team, and bestselling book collections and t-shirts. Congratulations to Bill Barnes and “Gene Ambaum” (pseudonuym for a ‘real’ librarian” in the US) on keeping it funny, daily.

Shelf Check is wonderfully edgy. Emily Lloyd writing as Poesygalore writes a very timely strip, over 100 so far and managing daily production.

Turn The Page is a newer strip. Jayson from Portland OR produces an irregular strip with a similarly skewed library humour.

bLaugh is a strip for bloggers. Funny to me.

User Friendly is a daily strip with a great cast of characters from the programming and help desk work of software development. Nuff said.

Anyway, you might enjoy them too although humour can be a very personal thing. You can add each of them to your blog aggregator and RSS reader. The you too can get a daily dose of fun.
It’s a talent to be able to laugh at ourselves.

    Hi Stephen,
    I don’t have a library humor cartoon, but a satirical library blog: the obnoxious librarian from hades. It is fueled by my real life experience as a corporate librarian and a good dosis of fantasy. So perhaps that is of interest to you as well, http://olfh.blogspot.com
    regards,
    Dennie

    In case you didn’t notice: the link to UserFriendly isn’t pointing to the main site, it’s only pointing to an individual cartoon.
