   You know, it’s depressing to see how many great themes from Bloom County are actually a re-hash of themes from Academia Waltz

   Nothing depressing about it. I’m glad he polished it up a bit, and threw in some new gags with it, for it helped ‘Bloom County’ become my all-time favorite comic strip…

   he may have started them here, but he perfected them in Bloom County. i wonder what G B Trudeau’s college strip (the one that evolved into Doonesbury) looked like? probably very similar, too

   I have a small book that was published many years back that collected Trudeau’s work from the Yale Daily News. Like Academia Waltz, some early, rough prototypes of the characters in the later strip and some great late 60s/early 70s specific commentary.

   Sidswiped a Pinto, goosed his navigator, and ask him if stairs mean anything to him. Most likely not.
