Getting the Watchmen from the library

Setting: early saturday morning, york university library (this particular library also doubles as a computer lab; hence the computer tech also doubles as a librarian)

Me: I'm looking for a copy of The Watchmen; the system says that there should be a copy available but I couldn't find it in the stack.
Librarian: DVD or soundtrack?
Me: the comic book, please.
Librarian: the graphic novel (long pause)
Me: umm, ok, yes, thank you.
Librarian: the graphic novel (longer puase)
Me: Umm, yes, the graphic novel
Librarian: let me check the back
