I'll miss you (again).
When I was in college I drew many of my own Bloom County Strips.
This was for two reasons.
One - I really loved the characters. They spoke for me. They even influenced me in some small way. For fifteen years I had a cat named Binkley, today I have a cat named Milo*.
Two - I drew those cartoons to impress someone. Twenty-two years later we're still married. Must have worked :)
So, Opus, Bill, Milo, Binkley, and Steve. I'll miss you.
'til ... Nah, the fourth time won't happen
Keep the Adventure Alive,
Tom
* Yes, some of you remember I also had a cat named Hobbes. Good comics inspire good pets.
