There's been some meta-humor just this past week in Bloom County.  It
was pretty repetitive until Friday.  Each day the last panel was just
narration, talking about how the events in the previous three panels
were an example of "foreshadowing, the sign of quality literature," in
sort of a tutorial manner.  On Friday Milo is talking to Opus about what
has just gone on.  Milo asks Opus what this is an example of, and Opus
confesses to not knowing.  Milo screams, "foreshadowing!", and Opus says
that he never reads the editor's notes.
