The Grunge Librarian - a graphic novel

Here is my first attempt at a graphic novel (not comic). It is about a Grunge Librarian.

The thing about Grunge Librarians is that they will start stamping books really quietly and then stamp the books really loudly and wildly for a bit and then go back to stamping them quietly again.

I did this in the office the other day.

But first is the theme tune:















Because it is not just emo librarians who can be melancholic, grunge librarians can be too.

The thing about emo librarians is that they are never sitting at the service desk, they are always outside the service desk looking in, questioning why there is so many people coming up to it and considering the fleeting shallow vacuous nature of its mainstream popularity.

Felix loves the smell of napalm in the morning

Sometimes there are just no words. Sometimes there are the words. And sometimes those words are:
A guy has taken his dead cat and stuck a remote control helicopter up it.

Yep. That's that summed up.

Can you imagine if you are not too keen on cats at the best of times? Now knowing they might be able to hover and come at you at head height, before turning 180 degrees for another, strafing, pass? You'd never open your windows again.

Mr. Jansen calls his dead cat-copter "art". It may well be. Equally, it may well be an aberration to nature. I am not certain anyone would disagree that it is contemporary macabre.

The one thing beyond doubt is Mr. Jensen has surely created the must have toy for Christmas 2012.

Kids would LOVE this!

And if Mr. Jensen is bright, he needn't be a one trick pony. His pony could also have the chassis of a couple of children's electric scooters welded together.

Scalextric Hamsters, anyone?

Stuff the robotics of a Furby into an actual owl.

Sh**ing simple.

Here's another one: Glue a toad to the board game, Operation.

If Mr. Jensen has contributed to the world with his Frankenstein creation then, if not art, it is: You can literally put anything in an animal, if it is big enough.
