Karn) writes: >The current theme of the Bloom County comic strip (the discovery by >Oliver Wendell Jones that Halley's comet will in fact hit the earth >on April 11, 1986) got me thinking. The strange thing about the comic strip was that the co-ords of impact given in the Sunday strip showed that it would hit about 300 miles due East of Yokohama Japan. Later strips showed an 'X' within Bloom County. What does this all mean? Is O.W.Jones changing his story? chongo <> /\../\
