The Dewey Teaser lives on. Thanks to everytwo of you who flooded our inbox last week with suggestions of DDC-related quotes from classic works of literature, we're able to stumble on with our exciting competition -- maybe even limp into the New Year. How about that? This week's teaser, which comes courtesy of Nick, could be the trickiest yet. In fact, if you get this one, we will be forced to make serious inquiries as to what exactly it is that you think you're doing with your life. Nevertheless: here goes. Whence comes this misguided speech?
"What better place to begin my reign of Communist terror and oppression than a memorial to that decadent and imperialist American, Melvil Dewey, hated originator of the Dewey Decimal System!! I, The Red Scare, will ruin this place for everyone!!"
I haven't actually seen this (she says defensively), but "The Red Scare" sounds like a Tick character.

The Tick #6: Villains, Inc., to be precise :-)
