A webcomic about how easy it is to mug a librarian. In the main panel, a large-nosed mugger looms over a frightened librarian in a yellow shirt who clutches a red astrology book titled "YOUR INNER SPACE-CRAB." The mugger threatens: "GIMME YER WALLET OR I'LL PUT THIS ASTROLOGY BOOK IN THE REFERENCE SECTION!" The terrified librarian, gritting his teeth, cries: "TAKE WHATEVER YOU WANT!" A caption reads: "It's really easy to mug librarians." The joke is that the worst threat to a librarian is mis-shelving a book. In the votey (aftercomic), the smug mugger walks off thinking to himself: "NOW TO PUT THIS TAROT BOOK IN METAPHYSICS" — committing exactly the kind of categorization crime he used as leverage.
