Funky Winkerbean: Research distractions

Description

Les Moore is in a library. He walks up to a shelf, wonders "Ho... What's this?", and pulls out a book.

"Huh!", he comments, as he realizes that he holds a copy of Ogden Nash's There's always another windmill.

He starts leafing through the pages, saying, "I've been looking for this particular Ogden Nash book for years!"

We then see Les reading the book, smiling and chuckling quietly, as the clock equally quietly makes its way from 1:00 to 3:27 to 4:55. At five of five, Les finally glances at the clock and seems startled at how much time has passed.

When he gets home, Lisa asks, "Did you have a productive afternoon at the library?" To which, Les replies, "Uh... Yeah... Pretty much!"
