and  then apparently the ladder disappears, as they are forced to come up  with another solution to their problem.\u00c2\u00a0 It&#8217;s a mildly cute ending, but  that&#8217;s what it is, after only three pages: an ending.\u00c2\u00a0 The next two  pages name all the characters, an utterly worthless exercise, and the  back cover contains original sketches for the characters, which is also  at least slightly worthless.\u00c2\u00a0 Unless this all turns into a much bigger  series and all of this is important in the long run, which is quite  possibly the case.\u00c2\u00a0 And why were two people needed to write\/draw this?\u00c2\u00a0  OK, enough bashing of the guy.\u00c2\u00a0 He&#8217;s one of the stalwarts of the small  press world and I have nothing but good things to say about him as a  human being and about the vast majority of his work.\u00c2\u00a0 I just wasn&#8217;t  impressed with this particular comic.\u00c2\u00a0 $.50<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/12\/librarians12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"librarians12\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/12\/librarians12.jpg\" alt=\"librarians12\" width=\"442\" height=\"232\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Junior Librarians #1 (with Jim Mackey) Well, that was dumb.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Let me explain: I&#8217;ve long wanted more Matt Feazell stuff on my site, as I&#8217;ve been vastly entertained at his stick figure adventures for years.\u00c2\u00a0 This year at SPACE, once again, I got to his table when I was almost broke and could only [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[2755,1076,2756],"class_list":["post-9504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-jim-mackey","tag-junior-librarians","tag-matt-feazell"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9504"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9508,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9504\/revisions\/9508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
