One of BB's standard tropes I always enjoy was characters resting objects on their heads, which then could be ejected for heightened comic effect.

This was one of the things I loved about Bloom County. Breathed had a sense of timing and pace that I hadn't seen in any other comics other than Krazy Kat, Calvin & Hobbes, and Peanuts. There was a frenetic energy to Bloom County that no other newspaper comic had at the time.

Alfred, I won't be mad if you post those every day.

What I always loved about that one is how in the final panel you can just see Opus facing them, pants about his ankles, and can just sense a 'oh of COURSE' look on his face even though there's no way to actually see it.

I wonder what Breathed thinks of what Trump eventually went on to become

Margaret Thather >>> Diane Sawyer

Thatcher too

TS: Guy Gardner's personality flip v Steve Dallas's

Dallas's - Guy Gardner worked well for both lols and playing with the nascent team's dynamic the first time, but it got diluted on reuse, and especially when played for dumber lols by clumsier hands than Giffen & DeMatteis

I never noticed Hodgepodge's lapel pin before

omigod I had "Send him little Bobby's college fund" in my head the other day.

for some reason that strip feels particularly relevant these days.

isn't it funny how bill suddenly learned to talk when he became fundamentally oral bill?

Nothing but urges from hell!

it finally occurred to me, about 20 years too late, that the introduction to this book was probably not actually written by the person it was supposedly by:

In 10th grade I stole "Dear George Will' for a newspaper our English teacher asked us to produce on our own

has there been a "best comics strips of all time" poll? bloom county would def. be my number 1

Would be a boring poll, would go like
1. Peanuts
2. Calvin and Hobbes
3. Bloom County
4. Far Side
5. Krazy Kat (Morbs throws up his hands when this is revealed so low)
6-100. Nobody cares

6-100. Nancy

http://www.platypuscomix.net/otherpeople2/blmd851224.gif

been meaning to pick up the Complete whatever sometime.

I had one of the collections when I was about 10 and thought it was awesome even though something like 90% of it went right over my head

So classic then. Bloom County>>>Doonesbury

Haha thanks for those, I don't remember most of them.

I have the first library collection but haven't made it all the way through yet

need to pick up all those paperback collections again.
