The Waukegan Public Library posted a picture on Facebook showing that in the spirit of the times statue of Ray Bradbury has been outfitted with a mask.
They say:
Thank you to Waukegan High School soon to be graduate, Austin Cantu, for making sure Ray Bradbury is doing his part in stopping the spread!
In this case the masked man is riding a silver bullet…
[Thanks to John King Tarpinian for the story.]
“Mask me, Ray Bradbury”
Actually, Elton John/Bernie Taupin works better
And I think it’s going to be a long, long time
Before the lockdown lets me out again
I’m not the man I am stuck at home
Oh, no, no, no
It’s masked Bradbury
Bradbury, stuck up on a statue there alone
And I think its going to be a long, long time
Before that library is full again
I think I’ve read all my books at home
Oh no, no, no
It’s masked Bradbury
Bradbury sitting on a rocket there alone
I saw Rachel Bloom’s name on the list of donations for the statue. It was not in the “Something Wicked This Way Comes” category, which would have made the inside jokes even funnier.
Austin Cantu is awesome, might be going just as far as Ray Bradbury after graduation.
