Yeah, I miss the old Bloom County crew. Especially Portnoy and Hodge Podge.

That was a sad day, when the last "Bloom County" ran.

Long live the Boingers!!!

Hmm, hope my newspaper starts carrying Opus again. I loved Rosebud, the last Basselope. Kinda wish I had one. I always wanted to buy those reindeer antleers for a basset hound I had, but I could never find em when I wanted to buy them. Milquetoast the cockroach was also very cool!

This strip is funnier when you actually know who Dan Fogelberg is...

Dan Fogelberg:


I e-mailed my local paper to see if they'll carry it, I hope they do. I like the old strips, but some of them are a bit dated, as he deals with current events frequently. This is very cool!

Great news! I stopped opening the funny pages when Bloom County and Far Side disappeared.

Opus and the Gang are back just in the nick of time.

Wow! I can't wait! My favorite comic is Bloom County, and I read through Billy and the Boingers Bootleg about 1000 times....great stuff.

I loved that comic

We need to resurrect the whole Comic Trinity

Bloom County
The Far Side
Calvin & Hobbes

If we can do that, then the world will be in harmony...
or at least we can really laugh at the bullshit.

While that'd be close to heaven, I doubt that it can or could happen. Watterson left comics for a reason, as he explained in Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book. I don't know much about Larson's situation, so I won't comment on that, but I will say that it's good to have Breathed back as a cartoonist again. I look forward to the new "Opus" strip and hopefully books.

Nice! The comics haven't been the same since the golden days of Bloom County, The Far Side, and Calvin and Hobbes. Or maybe I just got older and stopped reading them...
