I continue reading and enjoying this series. This particular volume has a bonus color story, "Empire City Strikes Back," which was quite cute. It was nice to see the gang in full color. Some very good strips here. ( )

Each one of these books are a gems for librarians and book lovers. In this one, Dewey goes to the dentists, the librarians fight the evil bookmobile and will Buddy the Beaver win the Mascot Cage Match? You need to read it in order to find out! At least in this book I finally found out that Buddy wears a costume and is not actually a real beaver! That's a relief! I look forward to reading more of these books! ( )

No book-talk, just lots of laughs. The 'graphic novelette' was cute. My son and I just can't get enough of these collections. So glad they've got a website and e-mail list! ( )

Oh my the graphic comic novellete, Empire County Strikes Back was totally and utterly hilarious. Putting a humorous spin on truthful words that most librarians have wanted to scream at the top of their lungs at one point or another.

The rest of the strips were fun too (and the conference tips oddly helpful while being funny still). A good compilation of a good web comic. ( )

Hmmmm...

I first read this comic online, probably about six years ago, when I was first discovering web-comics. I lost track of it eventually, and was rather surprised (in a good way) when I ran into yesterday at my local library. In the end I was a little disappointed; like all webcomics I tried starting out at the very beginning when I first got into it, and it was funny. Three volumes later, there's been little to no innovation in either writing or art, and so I was kind of disappointed. They seem to be taking their queues from traditional newspaper comics, which is probably some of reason I was sort of bored.

I will probably give their latest work another chance (I believe they are still going). ( )
