An interview/profile of cartoonist Berkeley Breathed. When his Bloom County newspaper strip first appeared, I remember feeling kinda guilty about enjoying it. It was a bit too crudely drawn and it was so obviously trying to confuse readers into thinking it was Doonesbury…and there were also the promotional interviews Breathed gave wherein he didn't show a lot of respect for his newly-selected craft. But the strip was kinda funny…
Just before I left the house on my trip, I received Volume 1 of the new Bloom County reprint series from IDW. It looks very good and I'm looking forward to actually reading it again and seeing if the strip is still kinda funny. Here's an Amazon link if you want to find out, too.
