It will be funny if Oliver Wendall Jones is clueless about the internet.

I don't understand your use of caps in the subject. It seems like you are excited with the first "Yes", but then only slightly excited with the second "yes". I was expecting a "no" to come next, but then you change course into a roid-raging all caps "YES."

Considering you are probably on the autism spectrum, you probably don't.


Here is a message BB posted on FB yesterday:

Dearest gentle patient Facebook BloomCountynickers ( my term ): watch this space carefully in coming days. I have raided my own files for some rare gems--art, unseen drawings, censored strips etc--. I can't wait to publish here... nicely out of reach of nervous newspaper editors, the PC humor police now rampant across the web... and ISIS. To wit...Check the following, below: I spent an hour a few years ago, discussing that sketch of a Burqini with the publisher of the Washington Post (while standing in the produce section of my Santa Barbara Trader Joes.) We--this is true-- negotiated the style of her hair. That strand sticking out. As it might offend muslims. Because the Muslim staffers in his office were offended. So we came to an agreement as to how much hair could be sticking out and how messy it looked.

I quit cartooning for good two months later. Yes, these two little events were organically connected. I'll never get that happy little hour of happy TJ's shopping back.

I like what he said about comparing his strip to Doonesbury. He said Bloom County was actually funny.

I have two of the HUGE volumes of collected strips from the beginning (81?). Between the two, they cover about 6 yrs...

Awesome to know it's back. Was a great combo of entertainment and poli commentary during the Reagan era.

Far Side was my all time favorite. But overall, the quality of comic strips seems to have dwindled over the years. I still read them from time to time, but I don't find them to be all that great.

Doonesbury is decent, but this guy was on a different level. I love how other cartoonists like Schultz hated him and his characters, as if there is some proper way to do comics.

He used to rail on Trump. I hope that continues.

When kids are growing up doing video games instead of drawing, what do you expect?

Friend of mine has a kid who is ten and VERY talented. She just got her new iphone 6, go guess what, he wanted it, he gets it. That will be the end of his drawing.
