I thought the sequence with Uncle Duke and the Baby Doc College of Medicine was funny. When Bloom County first started there were some people that did not like it too much. Bloom County is like Doonseburry because its characters have personality. Doonseburry is really kind of slow and a lot of the humor is made possible because we get to know the characters so well. When I started reading it again (saited only by my collection of all of the Doonseburry collections) I realized that it was going to take a while to get reaquainted with the characters. I think he is doing well, just give it time. After we got to know everyone in Bloom County the strip became great. Trudeau needs to introduce the actors. I am optimistic that Trudeau is setting us up for some good laughs. -- scc!steiny Don Steiny - Personetics @ (408) 425-0382 109 Torrey Pine Terr.
