Image: A small, pretty English village. A girl with a bag on her shoulder runs towards a van on the other side of the village green. She says to herself "I've got to follow my heart and leave this sleepy village behind. A new life awaits on the open road, touring from town to town in a merry band of brilliant eccentrics!"

Title: “Rebecca runs away to join the travelling library”ALT
A pen and ink drawing.
A six panel cartoon with text:

At a secret location, the intergalactic terminal awaits its first alien visitors. 

A customs officer is ready with forms printed in every conceivable script. 

The coffee shop has receptacles designed for mouth, beak, trunk or mandible.

A stall sells postcards, earth souvenirs, and an encyclopedic array of travel adaptors. 

The shuttle bus runs hourly to the city, stopping at a number of mid-price hotels. 

So far, the only landings on the runway or saucer-pad have been by local birds.ALT

Ok but if bookmobiles were actually run by a nomadic group of librarians I probably would have fantasized about joining them as a child because that sounds amazing and why isn't this a fantasy trope yet?

Irregular Webcomic! #2916 Rerun

1 Comment
Comic #2916

It's funny because it's a trope. No other reason.

I actually like anchovies on my pizzas. Well, occasionally - not on every single pizza. What I really don't like is pineapple.

Also, why is it impossible to find a sushi bento box with no avocado in it??? Avocado isn't even Japanese!! Why do sushi places insist on putting it in 90% of the sushi?! Seriously, it's like going to Italy and finding all the pasta has maple syrup in it or something.


2025-10-13 Rerun commentary: Nowadays I'm less concerned about pineapple than I am about avocado. I really don't like avocado. Which makes it very difficult to select sushi in some places.

The Australian author of this comic will be pleased to hear that the Blue Light Yokahama in Stockholm, Sweden is a very traditional ramen and sushi place and has a sign saying "no, we don't serve avocado on sushi!"
