Those are. Very. Cool.

And yes, Bloom County, Far Side and Calvin & Hobbes are probably my three all-time favorites

I wonder what Breathed and Watterson have been doing since retiring their strips? I wonder if they ever feel like reviving them? From what I remember, they both wanted to go out while the strips were still fresh. It would be great if in the ensuing years since retirement they had recharged their enthusiasm. I know it won't happen, but I was just idly dreaming...

Bloom County was a clasic.

I remember having to look u p the word "conniption" to get a punchline.

Anyone remember the strip that told of the lastest news about corduroy pillows?


They're making headlines.

Ditto!

For years at work I've had a personalized version of our fax cover page with Calvin next to my name and extension. I wish C&H, Bloom County and Far Side could have lasted as long as Peanuts though...

For what Berke Breathed has been up to, here's an interview from two years back: BB interview

 

[Emiricol]

I know he's the writer and maybe director of a Bloom County movie being produced or going to be produced in the U.K.

Raise your hand if you've got the album that was in the back of the book. *raises hand*

*Raises Hand*

Why? Because I'ma Boinger.

I *still* prefer their original name: Deathtöngue

 

[Emiricol]

Deathtongue!! Yeah!!!

*Bangs head repeatedly on desk*

EDIT: I still wish they got the rabbit in the band

Wow, I'd completely forgotten Billy and the Boingers. Now I have to see if I can find it online to play for my wife. Unless she remembers it too. Bloom County was definately one of the very best.

I was a big fan of Fundamentally Oral Bill and Binkly. Those were some great times spent laughing MAO before I knew what LMAO meant. I did not even have a computer yet.
