I guess I should start this off by mentioning that I am not a Bloom County
fan, but more a definate hardcore Donnesbury fan.  What I liked best about
Doonesbury was his ability to show current events with a special humorous
bent to make us either recognize them, or at least be amused by them.  G.B.
also had (has?) the ability to make us laugh while outraging us (the famous
"In Search of Reagan's Brain" or "Guilty, Guilty, Guilty" series).

Since he has come back he doesn't seems to have been able to quite get it
together.  I am not saying that I haven't been enjoying it, indeed there have
been some wonderful lines, but the long stories seem incomplete.  I am asuming
that he is dividing his time between fathering and cartooning but this too
will pass.  One good Doonesbury (of which I think we have had several since
its return) is worth 10,000 terrible Cathy's (of which we have had at least
10,000 since it started).
