3. Whatever happened to Berke Breathed?
He lived in Iowa City for a long time (he might have even created Bloom County there). I always loved his strip, especially Opus and Bill.

4. You might find information about his doings here...
...www.berkeleybreathed.com

Apparently, he's selling lithographs. Damn, I miss Bloom County. Hell, I'd even take Outland now. Berke got his start here in Austin drawing for the Daily Texan, UT's newspaper.

7. Bloom County is being rerun at Ucomics.com
All of them - even the ones that didn't make the book. In order (the left winger was today)

The day's alternate - one day you get the entire week of the smaller scripts (6 of em) and the next day you get the big script.

Only catch?

it's $10/year

Well, ucomic has to make money somehow.

But Ucomic has most of today's current comics including the editorials (they have ted rall). And about 2 years ago they started the Calvin & Hobbes rerun, like they are doing now with Bloom County.

11. I love penguins. Best comic ever.
Interesting that Tom Tomorrow has a penguin character, and then there's Tux - when did penguins become the mascot for so many things I like?
