Best comic strip ever, Bloom County was. But don’t take my word for it: ask Bill & Opus.

Nope. For audio, this is peak tech, not cassettes.

Incredibly disappointing stance. Yes, the Iranian regime needs to go. No, they should not have nuclear weapons. (Who should?!) But a unilateral act of war that will have a greater negative effect on the Iranian people than in the regime itself is wrong.

“Running amok” not “amuck”… and “cavalry” not “calvary” — although I don’t expect to see him crucified. So...

The afterlife is depressingly similar to ordinary everydayness. Why does my back still hurt if I’m dead?

Bill loves belly rubs, but Opus is like a Venus flytrap who closes around your hand while his back legs try to devein your arm.
