LOLLOLLOL!!!

[Oatka]

I was working in a tobacco plant in Macon, GA when that one came out.

Every other female cubicle had it prominently posted.

I was surprised it got past the censors.

[Axenolith]

I like Bloom Co, but I’d crawl through broken glass for some more Calvin and Hobbes!

[Oatka]

I almost soiled my armor over this one:

[Axenolith]

I edited a copy of that so it read Larry Craig...

[Gil4]

He definitely leaned left, but he took plenty of shots at both sides.

[Mygirlsmom]

Truth be told, though, I’d have been a lot more excited if the story was about Bill Watterson bringing back Calvin and Hobbes...

As a fan of Watterson, I'm sure you saw this from last year, but just in case you didn't....

[OldMissileer]

Thanks for the great laugh! I needed it.

[a fool in paradise]

His Facebook postings, Breathed said earlier this month, are "nicely out of reach of nervous newspaper editors, the PC humor police now rampant across the web ... and ISIS."

[Zionist Conspirator]

Isn't Breathed a left wing atheist?

I fail to see why conservatives should be interested.

[commish]

[Bratch]

I don't think I want Watterson back on "Calvin and Hobbes".

He had the best comic strip finale ever.

[newgeezer]

As much as I enjoyed Bloom County back then, my first thought upon hearing this yesterday was, is he starting up again for the purpose of spewing Leftist crap?

Time will tell. Hopefully he doesn’t turn it into Doonesbury.

[Captain Peter Blood]

I never got that feeling he was Left.

[dfwgator]

He’s a lefty but he skewered liberal sacred cows from time to time.

[dfwgator]

Life is better with a little Steve Dallas in it.

In my dreams
You're all I sees
Boobs, butt and knees
Be my main squeeze

[BradyLS]

Yes. On of the of the few exceptions that proved the rule.

[rikkir]

is he starting up again for the purpose of spewing Leftist crap?

Breathed will skewer anything. The rumor is he wants to have some fun with Trump. Evidently he really had a ball with him before. Breathed neither confirmed nor denied this. He just smiled.

He is a lefty but is one of my favorite cartoonist. I also think the Marlette’s are very talented. They get when it counts. See Andy’s cartoon about the Charleston shooting. Serious blurry screen syndrome.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

It hurts to remember. Reagan was president and liberals were a joke.

Just damn.
