As I'm sure will be pointed out by others, the "Bloom County" strips that are
running now are from the first year or so of the strip, when it wasn't carried
by very many papers.  Most of them were never collected in the reprint books
so they are essentially "new" strips to most readers.  (Breathed's style sure
has changed a lot over the years!)

As a bit of new information to make this post worthwhile, I might add that
Berke was released from the hospital to his home Friday morning (02/21) and
is reported to be walking around and "eager to get back to work".  We should
start seeing new material again in mid-to-late March, earlier if the syndicate
feels a need to rush things.
