Can't agree with Chuq here.  I enjoy Bloom County for just-plain zaniness
and computer fun.  Doonesbury continues to be the excellent political satire
it has always been (I really enjoyed the "Reagan view of the White House"
this morning... what is excellent about the strip is that it is a laugh/cry
situation...).  It was somewhat weird when Zonker was taking up a lot of
space (the U-boat commander was always one of my favorite bits), but I think
that type of humor would not stand up well to Bloom C.  I also don't think
we've been given the time to see a lot of the old characters, but I'm sure
that will change.  At any rate, the humor is still pointed yet gentle (I've
yet to see anything vicious in Trudeau's work... at the most, he gets
exasperated, which is what *I* get, too!).  Some very good stuff; I suspect
that perhaps he does belong on the Editorial page...

                                                "Hi. This is God."
                                                "Uh-Oh..."
