Great idea, but he is wise for deciding to wait a bit to develop some characters and a narative sense. I recall that "Bloom County" (my favorite strip of the 80's) took about a year and half to really get going.

In the meantime, you just can't beat this one....

Yeah, Bloom County was cool. Binkley's granddad was my favorite. An old-school Republican, he would go hunting for radical liberals. His liberal call was 'No nukes!' and some hippie would pop up out of the grass saying 'no nukes.. no nukes'.

Then Blammo! granddad would shoot. The hippie would run off holding his wounded butt yelling 'Ow! Socialised medicine! Socialised medicine!'

The strip got stupid when he started writing Outland.
