I've been wanting to read TKAM again and now is a good time to do that. It's always been one of my favorite books.

I remember crying when Bloom county ended, not just because it was ,y generations "Doonesbury", but because he had the sort of humor our times needed. If trump helped bring him back, I count that as a silver lining. Welcome back Opus
