Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Except somehow the librarians can always find the fucking book. I do not understand how they do it
Witchcraft.
You develop an "ear" for it. It's similar for me in IT support.
When one of our customers calls and tells me they have a virus on their PC, I know before even starting the remote session that it's actually the Firefox website notifications. And when they say "It's asking for a password, what's my password?" I ask them how their vacation was and to reboot their PC, so Office can update and contact the licensing server again.
It's their job and they've been asked these questions before. In my personal experience, if you're good at your job, and librarians usually seem to be, you tend to know the answers to questions that people ask, even clueless people.
