Notice that there was no Bloom County for 3/2. On a side note, out here in Wash. DC (adopted home of Bloom County, read the syndication blurb) instead of running the old ones we've read before, they've foisted off "Cheeverwood" on us (another Wash. Post Writers Group job). I hesitate to say that it looks superficially like Bloom County, but in my own, (emphasis on OWN) opinion, it's simply awful. So which Bloom Counties are the rest of the world getting? Are you back to the early Opus strips, or have you gone to the back of the rack with Limekiller boarding at the house and Milo talking to the bathroom mirror? -dave -- David Hsu Communication & Signal Processing Lab, EE Department University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 hsu@eneevax.umd.edu {seismo,allegra}!umcp-cs!eneevax!hsu "Godzilla has been spotted in Sector 5!"
