1995 was a cruel year for comics fans, tolling a certain cultural diminution of the page. Breathed retired his Sunday-only “Outland,” Gary Larson packed up “The Far Side” menagerie, and Bill Watterson let “Calvin and Hobbes” sled off into eternal white space. Three still-young men had flown high, and were now hanging it up.

Bill the Cat remains one of my favourite Bloom County characters.

How I live to watch the morn,
with golden sun that shines,
up above to nicely warm
these frosty toes of mine.
The wind doth taste of bittersweet,
like jasper wine and sugar,
I bet it's blown through others' feet,
like those of …
… Caspar Weinberger.
And another favorite:

Don’t get me wrong, Opus also has a special place in the warm fuzzies of my heart.

I agree. I finished reading and didn’t know anymore than when I started.
I read on another website that Breathed was asked if he was coming back to “have some more fun with Trump”? Breathed would neither confirm, or deny this, he just smiled.
