Bloom County: Binkley's anxiety closet
Description:
Binkley is in bed, but not asleep. The snorklewacker is bouncing on his bed in a veritable tizzy of anxiety-producing euphoria.
"Wake up, Binkley! Wake up! Wake up!!"
Binkley sits up, clutching the blankets to his chin, as the snorklewacker continues, "Oh, we have a wonderful anxiety of yours tonight, Binkley! Hoo boy, it's really the pits!!"
The snorklewacker waves something in front of Binkley's bleary eyes, explaining, "Look! Look what I found in the back of the closet, Binkley! A Dr. Seuss book! "Green Eggs and Ham!"... Remember it? Now, wait while I go fetch Mrs. McGreevy!"
Binkley sits, holding the book, and tries to remember... 'Mrs. McGreevy? Why, she's the... the...'
THWONK!! A battle-axe embeds itself in the wall above Binkley's head.
"...librarian!!" Binkley finishes the thought and screams the word as a little old lady, carrying a bloodstained axe, smiles at him and says, "119 weeks overdue, dear..."
I’ve read it. A classic.
