Yes, when Bloom County first started there were a lot of people who didn't
like it.  This is because it was a piss-poor strip way back when.  The strip
is many years old, but only in the last few years has it achieved heavy
distribution.  Before that, the only place I saw it was the Boston Globe,
and it was awful.  They haven't even bothered to collect those early strips
into books, despite the fact that they would sell -- I think the reason is
plain to anyone who read it back then.

Now, it's pretty good most of the time.
