Not sure if everyone knew it yet or not, but Berke Breathed, writer
and artist of the BLOOM COUNTY comic strip was injured in a plane
crash a week or so ago.  Apparently he suffered a fractured
vertebra between his shoulders, and will be out for a while.  A full
recovery is expected.

Until he returns, the papers carrying BLOOM COUNTY will reprint
strips that were previously published when BLOOM COUNTY had a
much smaller readership.

                               "All this self-sacrifice is *nauseating*!"
