Sheesh, he sounds like he's visiting the dentist. Seriously, that is just a smidge too close... especially creepy considering that she's the library itself. As for Oracle of Deffin... I wonder what class that's for?
He might just wanna read it. But then, could be for a class, we'll see.
Hrm... I'm starting to think that the "library incident" may be more, well... Is it just me, or does it seem like the librarian _likes_ Abel? (check out third panel especially.)
Okay... Here's my random of the moment pet theory: Abel backs out/rejects her advances due to it uncomfortably echoing the story Fa'Lina told him about his dad. Librarian takes this personally and, well the "ban" is more both deciding to avoid each other. Or, alternately, the librarian _doesn't_ accept it at all, so the only thing Abel can do is avoid the library...
Nah, it's probably something entirely different, presumably involving five tons of spinach, eighty thousand rubber bands, and a rubix cube. :)
This whole series is simultaneously creepy and, somehow, cute.
The librarian is now one of my favorite characters. It's a pity we'll in all likelihood not see more of her than this here.
I was thinking the book is more of a novel, from Oolong's remark "it's a very good book" and "the rest of the series". After all, one does not usually read textbooks and English classes tend not to assign books in a series.

It's been said specifically by Amber that the incident will not appear in Abel's Story. There's no point in theorizing about it, since it's just a silly reference Amber threw out as a joke...similar to the Calvin and Hobbes "Noodle Incident." It's referenced as something really bad Abel did/was involved in/started/et cetera, and is regarded as something
so bad that no one will ever (conveniently) talk about specifics. I highly doubt Amber will ever extrapolate on it.
Your theory is also...unsettling... :)
Oolong's "good book" comment also seems like another (futile) attempt to get Abel to smile, and seeing as how he did not, a book must be a reason for him to smile. I'm also fairly sure Abel has had very few reasons to smile since arriving at SAIA, if any at all. He doesn't seem like a smiler. At least not in this point in time
The following are some of the reasons that I have known series of books to be moved in a library.
Movement from regular collection to "young adult" or vice versa.
Some libraries have separate sections for fantasy, science fiction, romance, western, mystery, etc. Every so often the policy on the groupings seem to change and groups get recombined or split or merged with the regular collection.
Sometimes, librarians will decide to put together a collection of books based on a theme. For example: "If you liked Harry Potter, you'll like these."
******
It may sound crazy, but my gut feeling on the library incident was that it involved the organization of books. Remember, Abel used to work in a library. I can't see him damaging a library, but I can see him reorganizing the books. Some librarians get very strong opinions on how the library should be organized.
*****
English classes will sometimes assign books in a series to be reviewed by the students. Especially "compare and contrast" type assignments referring to different series of books.
The librarian's smile in the first panel looks very sinister.
Same with the last panel of #62.
And for the love of whatever higher power there is, Smile once Abel!
I also have a sudden desire to invent a way to jump into pictures just to meet Mrs Oolong.

Thank you.
It's like pulling teeth with that boy
I think the librarian likes him a little too much... If you look closely, she has one tentacle wrapped a bit too high up the thigh to be anything but... intimate. That and three tentacles heading for his mouth. Either he's too emo to notice it, or near-tentacle rapes are very frequent. Considering how cubi naturally have tentacles, I'm heading for the second. Not like Amber's gonna ever show it~
That's enough encouraging of tentacle rape images. I'm back and hopefully gonna hang out for real! I finally has an avvy of my character Blue~!<3

It could also have been moved with a lot of other books to make room for new books, depending on the full nature of the library. (thinking something along the lines of the unseen university library... )
also, question to Amber: is that double 'F' in Deffin meant to be pronounced like a welsh double 'F' sound? (ie: with something like a 'v' sound... (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Abel_35.php))

You never know. Dan will have to go back to SAIA at some point.
I certainly hope so! Out of them all, Oolong is the most interesting minor character to date! It's a bummer that, due to her size and situation, she can't be a main or supporting character.
i actually think her speech is more along the lines of a nigh-unison echo of the same voice, like all those rabbit heads are talking at the same time, but with varying volumes towards where she needs to speak at.

Amber pointed this out in the last thread. :b
I'll point out to the "RAEP" jokers that the way she's acting is more like a coddling aunt than anything. Imagine the sort of figure that'll hug you tight, and then pinch your cheeks and tug them to get a smile.
And despite being an angler fish body, whatever Oolong is made up of underneath it all is very dextrous with all those tentacles. I'd kill to have a librarian that helpful (who could reach the tall shelves that the little people like me can't reach :b)
Quotei actually think her speech is more along the lines of a nigh-unison echo of the same voice, like all those rabbit heads are talking at the same time, but with varying volumes towards where she needs to speak at.
I think the voice is more an omnipresent voice, heard from all directions within the library, rather than a multitude of different voices from different mouths, judging by how there's no speech balloon to direct your attention to any particular (number of) head(s).

Hmmm, I don't know about that. Considering Cubi classes have to stay in SAIA for so many centuries, they probably have to take so many english/reading classes (or maybe just have one that spans over a... really really long time *shudders*) that they can assign a whole series and analyze it in parts as well as a whole, and STILL be able to force a bunch of other novels down their throats >:3
Wow. What a helpful librarian-- she knows exactly where a book is. Our librarian just give you a general area. like "on the second floor."
That librarian is the closest one to actually 'tentacle rape' anyone in the comic yet... well to 'tentacle rape' and without the intention to pierce, cut, dismember, lacerate and/or kill to the intended victim.
I think the librarian is talking on a psyonic level. Translation I think she's using telepathy to talk to Abel which would explain how she can talk so interestingly and not disturb the other students in the library.

Theory: Abel somehow removed the wall between the library and art class while the students were more-or-less automatically drawing whatever was in front of them, and... well, they're still drawing.

Bubblegum to licorice. And yuck to both flavors.
I wonder if Oolong could use the multiple sound sources for noise cancellation, creating silent zones by issuing sound waves that cancel out the sound waves coming to an area.
I also noticed that there is a new horror movie coming out entitled "The Box". Is llearch branching out?

Edit:
Be nice to librarians. They are facing constantly shrinking budgets and constantly expanding workloads. Also, my sister is one. I sent her a copy of the Oolong wallpaper.

Given the alienes of that type of mythos, I'd figure the gender of the "puppet" would the the closest thing to what we'd normally think of as a gender. I mean, how does this type of mythos even reproduce? If later in life it's more or less stationary, how can it meet up with another adult of its kind? I'd guess it'd be more plantlike, releasing or accepting pollen/spores/whatever. Either that or it reproduces asexually.

I think it may be both genders to increase the likely hood of reproduction of a species that rarely moves out of it's location. The femaleness may be what gender it associates itself with best

Neither is necessary to explain Oolong's nature. Look up anything you can find by Jack Cohen. He's a genuine biologist, working at a UK university. One of his hobbies is talking to SF authors about some very weird real Earth animals, giving them ideas for the design of alien critters. I've heard him speak at SF cons. Give him five minutes to think it over, and I'm sure he'd be able to describe — possibly with the aid of Fa'Lina's diagrams — at least one plausible mechanism to allow Oolong and her (or his) kind to reproduce.

..Ok, not eat anyone except the really noisy students. This would make the Library Incident anything that makes Oolong sick or gives her indigestion? XD
I'd just assumed that Ms. Oolong instinctively shaped the "bait" to whatever would best attract food. If more of the population of Saia is attracted to nubile bunny girls than anything else, why then - a nubile bunny girl it'll be!
Yeah, I'm probably wrong. But hey, it was fun anyway.

Abel takes a drink. After drinking it, he discovers that the drink is a: strong laxative, love potion, morphing potion that makes him look like Wildy, or turpentine.

Who's to say what Oolong's habitat was like before it was paved over to make SAIA? The pearly white foundations & pillars could be mostly calcium based. :mwaha

No, "sparkle" is not a tinny word because it does not include a long E or long I sound.
It is not a woody word because it does not include a long O or long U sound.
No, "sparkle" is a canvas-y word (because the A sound is like coming from a drum and not a brass or woodwind instrument).

Please note that there is a difference between wanting somebody to smile and wanting somebody to be happy. I think Oolong wants Abel to be happy.
